In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, Giorno Giovanna is voiced by Kensho Ono in the Japanese version. In the English dub, the character is voiced by Phillip Reich. The official Golden Wind cast page lists Ono as Giorno’s Japanese actor, and English-language cast databases credit Reich for the dub.
Japanese Voice Actor: Kensho Ono
Date of Birth
Kensho Ono was born on October 5, 1989. His agency profile and official fan club biography both list that birth date.
About Kensho
Kensho Ono is a Japanese actor, voice actor, and singer from Fukuoka who began performing as a child actor before moving into voice work. His official biography notes that he started voice-acting activities in 2001 through his dubbing work as Harry Potter, and his career has since expanded across anime, stage, film, and music. He is currently affiliated with Animo Produce.
For JoJo fans, the key credit is straightforward: the official JoJo portal names Kensho Ono as the voice of Giorno Giovanna in Golden Wind. That role sits alongside a broader body of lead and major supporting performances, including Tetsuya Kuroko in Kuroko’s Basketball, Riku Nanase in Idolish7, Ryunosuke Akutagawa in Bungo Stray Dogs, Yuya Sakaki in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, and Mikaela Hyakuya in Seraph of the End.
Hometown
His official profiles list his hometown and origin as Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.
Career Highlights
Ono’s breakout anime reputation is closely tied to lead roles. His official agency credits include Tetsuya Kuroko in Kuroko’s Basketball, Slaine Troyard in ALDNOAH.ZERO, Yuya Sakaki in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Alain in Pokémon XY, Akutagawa in Bungo Stray Dogs, Riku Nanase in Idolish7, and Giorno Giovanna in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. On the dubbing side, his long-running Japanese performance as Harry Potter remains one of his defining mainstream credits.
Another major marker of his career is industry recognition. His agency page states that he won Best Lead Actor at the 16th Seiyu Awards, and the Seiyu Awards’ official winners page confirms that honor.

(2008), The Sacrifice Dilemma (2013), Kujira no Ita Natsu (2014), Match Shojo (2016), Ringside Story (2017), and Omaera Zenin Mendokusai! (2019). It also documents substantial stage work, including multiple Kuroko’s Basketball stage productions, Romeo & Juliet, ReLIFE, and West Side Story Season 2.
Dubbing and other screen voice work
His official profile also lists major dubbed-film roles such as Harry Potter in the Harry Potter series, Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse, Philip in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, Cricket in Disney’s live-action Mulan, Riff in West Side Story, and Franklin in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
Critical Reception
Kensho Ono’s reputation within the Japanese voice-acting industry is strongest as a proven lead performer. The clearest formal recognition is his Best Lead Actor win at the 16th Seiyu Awards, an industry honor specifically intended to recognize the most impressive voice-acting work of the year. ORICON’s coverage of that award also framed him as an actor long active at the front line of anime performance.
In practical career terms, his reception is also reflected in the consistency of his casting. Official materials show him trusted with protagonist or centerpiece roles across major franchises such as JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Kuroko’s Basketball, Idolish7, Gundam Hathaway, and the Japanese Harry Potter dub. That combination of awards recognition, lead casting, and cross-medium longevity is the strongest evidence of how highly he is regarded.

English Voice Actor: Phillip Reich
Date of Birth
Phillip Reich’s full date of birth is not clearly documented in a reliable official public biography. Fan-maintained databases consistently list May 14 as his birthday, but the year is not consistently supported by primary sources, so it is safer to leave the full date unconfirmed.
About Phillip
Phillip Reich is an American voice actor best known in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure for voicing Giorno Giovanna in the English dub of Golden Wind. His official website presents him simply as a professional voice actor, while major cast databases also credit him for roles such as Yuya Fungami in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, Sugimura in Persona 5, and Mark Twain in Bungo Stray Dogs.
He appears to work primarily in English dubbing for anime and games, and his official contact page shows agency representation in Chicago and Atlanta alongside a direct professional contact, which supports the picture of an active working voice actor rather than a retired or occasional performer.
Hometown
His hometown is not publicly documented on his official website. Some fan-maintained sources describe him as being from Burbank, California, but because that detail is not confirmed on a primary professional bio, it should be treated cautiously rather than as fully verified fact.
Career Highlights
For JoJo fans, Phillip Reich’s signature role is Giorno Giovanna in the English dub of Golden Wind. Behind The Voice Actors lists him as Giorno, and the same source also credits him as Yuya Fungami in Diamond is Unbreakable, meaning he has voiced notable JoJo characters in more than one part of the franchise.
Outside JoJo, the most consistently cited highlights in source-based credit listings include Sugimura in Persona 5, Mark Twain in Bungo Stray Dogs, Oboro in Gundam Build Divers, Seiya Kori and Shoichi Kosakai in Talentless Nana, Seto Narukami in Scarlet Nexus, Ritsu in Octopath Traveler II, and Magellan/Holonius in Unicorn Overlord. IMDb also shows that he has expanded beyond acting into voice direction work on Fallout 76 updates.

Voice direction and related production work
IMDb credits Reich as a voice director on multiple Fallout 76 updates, including The Pitt, Nuka-World on Tour, Atlantic City, and Skyline Valley-era content. Fallout-related source material also credits him in that directing capacity.
Critical Reception
Phillip Reich does not appear to have a large body of mainstream critical-profile coverage comparable to long-established dub veterans, so there is limited formal press commentary to summarize. What is clearly documented is that Giorno Giovanna is the role most closely associated with his name in major cast databases and fan-facing interview coverage, which suggests that Golden Wind is the performance most central to his public reputation.
There is also evidence of sustained audience interest around his JoJo work specifically. Anime Impulse published an interview centered on his Giorno performance, and JoJo-focused reference coverage continues to highlight Giorno and Yuya Fungami as his franchise-defining roles. That is not the same thing as formal critical acclaim, but it is a fair indication that his JoJo performances are the roles for which he is most recognized by anime audiences.
