As well as voicing Giovanni, Kenta also provides the vocals for Ash's Donphan in the original Japanese version of the cartoon as well as the English-language dub. During the "Diamond and Pearl" series, he voiced Paul's Elekid and Electabuzz as well as Roark's Rampardos in both versions of the anime and he also had an appearance in Zoroark: Master of Illusions voicing the legendary Fire Pokémon of Johto, Entei.

In addition to voicing Giovanni in the Japanese version of the anime, Kenta also voices Sunglasses Sandile/Waruvile, a Pokémon following Ash and his friends and later evolved into a Waruvile while battling Ash's Pikachu during Episode 20 of the Japanese version of the "Best Wishes" series. It later joined Ash's party on a permanent basis and has since evolved into a Krookodile.

He also voiced for Jun Kitami, a character who built extremely high-powered cars in the Wangan Midnight anime series.
