Michihiro Ikemizu (池水 通洋 Ikemizu Michihiro), often miscredited as Michihiro Ikenaga (池永 通洋 Ikenaga Michihiro), is a Japanese actor and voice actor. Though he is perhaps best remembered for his anime roles, such as the voices of Isao Ota in the Mobile Police Patlabor franchise and Onsen-Mark in the Urusei Yatsura movies, he is known in the tokusatsu world for having provided the voices of various monsters and heroes in the 1970s. These include a slew of kaijin from the original Kamen Rider; Arashi for much of Arashi the Ninja; Mad Go-Ne, Jumborg 9, and Jumborg Ace in Jumborg Ace; Captain Dagger and Megaloman in Megaloman; and Fireman, among others. He also starred as Moonlight Mask in the anime series The Man Who Loves Justice: Moonlight Mask, based on the tokusatsu hero by Kohan Kawauchi.

Notes

In episodes 16 and 18, he is credited simply as "Mad Go-Ne" with no suit actor listed. In episodes 17, 19, and 23-27, he is dually credited as "Mad Go-Ne" with either Sakon Shimura or Kanemitsu Arikawa. In episodes 20-22, he is credited as simply "voice" next to Shimura as Mad Go-Ne.
