 Voice actor Nobuhiko Okamoto posted on his blog on Friday that he will rest for a month starting on June 1 to focus on his medical treatment. Okamoto mentioned that he has been feeling discomfort on his vocal cords intermittently for a long time. He was able to juggle work and treatment before, but his doctor advised getting a surgery based on the diagnosis that his vocal cords were scarring. His return will be announced on his agency's official website and blog.Born in Tokyo on October 24, 1986, Okamoto took interest in voice acting from childhood anime such as Slam Dunk and Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken (TV). Okamoto began his voice acting career in 2006 on a boys' love drama CD Tsuioku no Kiss wo Kimi wa Datsu, followed by his TV anime debut as an extra in NHK ni Youkoso!. He slowly gained traction in the industry by voicing Takumi Usui in Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, Rin Okumura in Ao no Exorcist, Accelerator in Toaru Majutsu no Index, Yuu Nishinoya in Haikyuu!!, and Katsuki Bakugou in Boku no Hero Academia. This season, he is currently voicing Khun in Kami no Tou (Tower of God). Okamoto is also skilled in shogi with a 3rd class certification and promotes as a musical artist. In 2012, Okamoto released his debut single Palette which peaked ninth on weekly Oricon charts. A year later, he released Enjoy Full and has continued releasing songs since. His latest album trust and play was released on April 4. This March, Okamoto and fellow seiyuu Asuka Oogame (Koufuku Graffiti's Kirin Morino) revealed they had gotten married. Source: Nijimen |

| Damn, this is a surprise. One of my favourite male Seiyuu, as a matter of fact. Take all the time you need and I'm looking forward to your return, Okamoto-san. |

| I'm not surprised his vocal cords been hurting, the energy he puts into his roles is insane, especially with the more eccentric characters. Good for him that Khun is more relaxed and soft-spoken, he needs to be cast with those kind of roles more. Also first time hearing about him having 3rd class certification in shogi, makes his role as Nikaido(Sangatsu no Lion) that much better! |
| With all the screaming he has to do for his character it comea as no surprise he would need a break |
| This guy must be the top choice for any studio when hiring someone to do the "angry boi" characters. I hope he recovers, because god damn, he has been burning those cords since Accelerator. |
| Oh damn, hope he gets well soon. Would hurt to see someone as talented as him gone. |

| Did all the angry growl voice roles finally got the man? |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| I hope that he recovers. MHA would lose a ton of character if Bakugo changed his voice. |
 |
| Aweee. I hope Nobu will get better and he needs rest and treatment to recover. |

| His voice as Accelerator is amazing. I hope Okamoto gets better soon. |
 |
| Why am i not surprised? |
| Voicing so many loud characters finally got him lol. Wish for his recovery and that nothing bad happens to him. |
 |
| I'm not surprised. I mean, we've all heard his Accelerator laugh. I hope he gives himself the proper time to recover. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Too much screaming as Kacchan and Ghiaccio I guess. Hopefully he'll get better soon! |
 |
| I hope he gets well soon. Also, I now have another reason to hate the uncivilized, disgusting, fugly, and irritating troglodyte called katsushit from MHA and his fanbase for liking him. |

| Holy shit, I hope he gets better soon. His roles are amazing, especially Khun and Karma. |
| It's because he screams so much, isn't it? He's one of my favorite seiyuu and I really enjoy every character he voices and what he brings to each role. Hope he recovers fully and quickly. Get well soon, Noburin!! |
| Makes sense, especially since he seems to be the default VA for characters that scream out 90% of their dialogue. Hoping for a full and speedy recovery. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Get well, Noya. Even if it takes some time. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| I can kinda see why the voice actor for Niizuma Eiji would get hurt haha. I hope he gets well. |

| Poor guy. @_@ Such great but demanding roles. Wishing him a safe recovery!! |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| Wait so news of him having to get surgery gets put on but not news of him literally getting married lol? |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| doesn't come as a surprise because, well, bakugou and nishinoya...... but ah :( i hope he recovers soon! |
 |
| The man's a legend! Hope he gets better soon. |
 |
| Hope he gets well soon. |
 |
| Get well soon. Edgey and angsty characters are waiting for you to voice! |
 |
| Question is how their are going to animate the second part of Haikyu! Hope he takes his time to recover though, such a iconic voice |
 |
| Wishing a speedy recovery to Accelerator and the explosive Bakugou. This man is a legend! |
| Gaming channel just for fun: https://www.youtube.com/cataorshane |
| So many of his roles require him to put a lot of stress on his vocal chords :( Hope he gets well soon!! |
 |
| I've been wondering if his voice/vocal cords are okay for a while now, ever since finding out he voices characters with loud or screamy voices like Accelerator, Eiji, Bakugo... Even though he's great at voicing these kinds of characters, I hope he won't audition for/get casted for more characters like that from now on... Besides, tbh, I personally like to hear him voice more calm, relaxed, quiet characters, like Usui, Karma, Obi, Ryousuke, Khun He's one of my favorite seiyuus, so I'm really hoping things will go well, that he'll recover, and that he takes as much rest as he needs. |

stand said: I blame this entirely on that shitstain Bakugou Amen to that Blame his fanbase too for liking him and horikoshi for giving him plenty of screentime. |

| Hopefully the surgery goes over well. I wonder if this could have been prevented by natokinase or serratiopeptidase (serrapeptase). Both are known in Japan. They are enzymes that help break down scar tissue like the body's own natural enzymes. They sometimes are used much the same way as pain reliever. |
| First 'cheating' incident, now medical treatment. Anyway, hope he gets better soon. |
| I wish for a speedy recovery for him. |
