Genzō Wakayama (若山 弦蔵 Wakayama Genzō) (September 27, 1932 - ) is a Japanese seiyū and disc jockey from Ōdomari, Karafuto Prefecture. He moved to Sapporo, Hokkaido as a youth and graduated from Sapporo South High School. He is currently freelance.
Due to his low bass voice, Wakayama often voices villainous or calm characters. He is the official dub-over artist of actors Sean Connery and Raymond Burr. As a disc jockey, Wakayama hosted a program on TBS Radio from 1973 to 1995 that ran for 5,700 installments. Wakayama also narrated over 800 episodes of the television jidaigeki Abarenbo Shogun from 1978 to 2003.
