Takahiro Sakurai (櫻井 孝宏, Sakurai Takahiro^?, born June 13, 1974) is a voice actor who was born in Aichi. He is a member of 81 Produce.

Many of his roles were handsome (and mostly charming) men. However, he has also voiced reluctant heroes (such as Cloud Strife and Rockman X) as well as the occasional villain (Maximilien Robespierre in Le Chevalier D'Eon, Hiltz in Zoids: Guardian Force and Sasori in Naruto Shippuden). Sometimes, he was also typecast to play an angsty and arrogant young man, and also loner character.
