Roles
Galaxy Force
- Starscream
- Fire Chief (Episode 9)
Notes
- Kuroda was cast in Galaxy Force as Starscream because his voice closely matched that of Hirotaka Suzuoki, the voice of Generation 1 Starscream (Suzuoki was originally cast to voice Starscream but had to drop out due to illness).
- Despite Kuroda's voice sounding like Hirotaka Suzouki's, he did not replace him as Sakaki/Giovanni (the leader of Team Rocket) in Pokémon. Instead that role went to Kenta Miyake.
