Trivia

• Wakamoto often voices evil and/or menacing characters (Vicious, The SNK bosses, Cell, Kagato, Oda Nobunaga in Sengoku Basara, Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts and Alexander Anderson in the Hellsing OVA), although he's also capable of doing other roles that are not evil and/or menacing. (Johnny of Guilty Gear X, Reunthal from Legend of Galactic Heroes, Victoream of Konjiki no Gash Bell!)
• Before Wakamoto started his seiyū career, he was a police officer assigned to the Tokyo Metropolitan Department's Anti-Riot Squad division.
• His casting as the voice of Alexander Anderson in the Hellsing OVA may be a private joke, for he voiced "Dracula" in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (while in Hellsing, Anderson is the rival of Alucard/Dracula).
