Trivia[]
- Seki has a friendly rivalry with Tomokazu Sugita, whom shares the same first name. Ironically, Seki is one of the founding members of Sugita's previous talent agency, Atomic Monkey.
- According to Seki, he himself is a Tokusatsu fan and yet, like his role in the 35th Super Sentai Series, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, where he was given the chance to voice the series' Mobirates, feeling honored that his voice would be enjoyed by children.
- In terms of the Ultraman Series, his favorite show is Ultraman Taro.[17] The first one he ever watched in real time is The☆Ultraman.[18]
- He is frequently mistaken for Toshihiko Seki, a fellow voice actor whom shares the same family name.
- In the Kamen Rider Series, Seki is frequently cast as the Great Leader and other leading villains from the Showa Era, replacing the late Goro Naya. His recent voice acting of Alien Empera (replacing the late Kenji Utsumi),[19] coupled with Ultraman Ace (who Naya used to voice in the character's home series) cements Seki's similar role in the Ultraman Series.
- During the All Ultraman Grand Vote TV special, Seki stated that despite voicing Ultras himself, he personally preferred when Ultras do not talk much, liking how they express emotions through the angles of their faces.[20] He also did an impersonation of Ace's final wish from the last episode of Ultraman Ace.[21]
- To celebrate TSUBURAYA IMAGINATION's third anniversary in 2024, Seki designed a T-shirt which features most of the Ultraman Series characters he has portrayed.[22]
