Don Valentino (CV: Toru Okawa)

Artist

ドン・ヴァレンティーノ(オオカワトオル)

This is a character name credit for Don Valentino, the goat-shaped leader of a criminal syndicate in the anime Cuticle Detective Inaba, voiced by Toru Okawa. Performing in character, Okawa uses his resonant baritone on the ending theme Prima Stella to craft a distinctive atmosphere that fuses dignity, melancholy, and the series' trademark comic despair. The song pairs with the opening theme credited to Hiroshi Inaba as two sides of a single release, giving the seemingly absurd villain unexpected depth. What might have been a throwaway joke character is elevated into something strangely affecting, and the track has remained a fan favorite within the show's lively music lineup.
