This bright and happy chap is Japanese voice actor, or seiyuu, Toru Furuya. He's a wee bit famous for being the voice of Amuro Rei.

In true genius marketing fashion Bandai have managed to get Furuya playing their PC MMO Gundam Online, a rather impressive title and very popular with the Japanese laydeez it seems. He's also got a blog here about his various online escapdes.

It's safe to say though that Furuya is a bit of a don, after getting his ass handed to him at last year's TGS on the PlayStation 2 port of the Capcom Gundam SEED arcade game he retorted that "the Gundam didn't keep up with my reaction time", an Amuro quote if ever their was one.
