He had roles in the Initial D series (as Jōshima Toshiya "God Hand"), Naruto (as Might Guy), Eat-Man (as Bolt Crank), the Shakugan no Shana series (as Alastor the Flame of Heavens), Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!! (as Doctor Tsuchiya), Buso Renkin (as Captain Bravo), The Transformers (as Ratchet) and Final Fantasy XIII (as Sazh Katzroy). He is also the official dub-over artist of Tom Hanks, Bill Murray, Wesley Snipes, Bruce Campbell and Robin Williams. He was also the first dubbing voice actor of Andy Garcia and Alec Baldwin in their early days.
Ebara graduated from Tōkyōtoritsu Chitosegaoka Senior High School. He initially did not aspire to be an actor, but he chose to attend the Toho Performing Arts Academy to learn the trade because he admired the work of Charlie Chaplin as a student.[2][3][4] After previously working with Gekidan Subaru, he affiliated himself with 81 Produce, but he is now affiliated with Aoni Production. In dubbing American films, Ebara often dubs over Tom Hanks, Bill Murray, Wesley Snipes, Andy García and many more. Much of his roles are occupied by Kōichi Yamadera in different editions of the films.
