Takaya Kuroda is a Japanese actor and voice actor from Tokyo, Japan. She was born on April 17, 1965. He is connected to Axlone and formerly worked for 81 Produce and Mausu Promotion.

He is most known for his bass voice, which has frequently led to evil casting decisions, as Yaiba in GoGo Sentai Boukenger. His work as Kazuma Kiryu’s voice actor on the Yakuza television series is what has made him most well-known to western viewers. As Hirotaka Suzuoki’s health deteriorated, he was chosen to take over as the voice of Starscream in Transformers: Cybertron due to his vocal similarity to the late Suzuoki. [Needs citation] The rock group Takaya Kuroda & Goodfellas has Kuroda as their primary singer.
