- Yasuo Yamada was born on September 10, 1932 in Tokyo, Japan. He was an actor, known for Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979), Lupin the 3rd: The Mystery of Mamo (1978) and Lupin III: Legend of the Gold of Babylon (1985). He died on March 19, 1995 in Japan.
- Colorful, boyish voice
- Voice takes on a giddy, bleating cadence in moments of excitement
- Tendency to say "Ararara" (which usually translates to "Ay-yi-yi-yi"), evident in comic roles such as Lupin III and Graham Chapman
- Japanese dubbing voice for Clint Eastwood.
- He was the official voice of Lupin the 3rd in the first 3 TV series, the first 3 movies, and the first 6 TV specials. He was replaced by Kan'ichi Kurita, when he died on March 19, 1995.
- He had a habit of getting drunk and calling people at midnight. Kiyoshi Kobayashi later remarked, "It was quite annoying at the time, but now that Yasube has passed away, I may look back fondly on it.".
- He was furious at being replaced with Toshio Furukawa for 'Lupin III: The Fuma Conspiracy' and didn't talk to Kazuhiko Katou for a long time.
- He preferred Lupin III Part 1 to Part 2. He was dissatisfied with Part 2 for being too kid-oriented (for a show that has scenes depicting smoking, gun violence and depictions of topless women).
- Don't aim for a being voice actor, aim for being an actor. Acting is done with the whole body. That's why voice actor work is also useful.
- I don't want Lupin to kill too many people, even if he's a villain.
