Summary

He entered the entertainment industry as a child actor belonging to the Komadori Theatre Company and later transitioned from acting to voice acting. With over 30 years of experience, he is a veteran in the field. He made his voice acting debut as a child with the TV series "Little House on the Prairie."

While he also appeared in TV dramas as an actor, his turning point as a voice actor came in 1988 when he was cast as the protagonist, Kaneda Shotaro, in the movie "AKIRA." Since then, he has maintained a steady career as a voice actor. He is known for his "hilarious ad-libs." These can be described as both good and "crazy," often leaving his co-stars struggling to hold back their laughter. However, he does not ad-lib in all works; in serious productions, he plays his role in a serious manner to avoid breaking the tone.

His major anime roles include Ziria in the TENGAI MAKYŌ series and Kaneda in "AKIRA."
