Shuichiro Umeda

Office Profile (with voice samples)

Shuichiro Umeda plays the main character Chirinu Nio in “Ao no Miburo -The Blue Wolves of Mibu-“. In this work, his voice is close to that of Daiki Yamashita, and I felt that his voice suits a pure and earnest hero.
In 2024, He played also the role of Kazuhiko Onsui in “Toooooo Many Losing Heroines”.
His name is also “Shuichiro Umeda,” although his name is a bit similar to Yuichiro Umehara’s and it is easy to make a mistake!
“郎” and “朗” are also different kanji! His “Ro” is “朗”.
In 2023, he won the 17th Seiyu Award for Best New Voice Actor, and is a promising new voice actor whose appearances in main roles have been increasing dramatically recently.

The second season will continue to air in 2025.
In 2024, he also plays Reno Ichikawa in the popular work “Kaiju No. 8,” which will also have a second season in 2025.
I think I will be playing more and more men characters after 2025!

Katsuya Fukunishi

Office Profile (voice sample available)

He also played the main character Hibino Kafka in “Kaiju No. 8,” in 2024, and is scheduled for a second season in 2025.
He also took over from Tatshisa Suzuki as Ken Ryuguji, aka Draken, in “Tokyo Revengers”.
He is a valuable voice actor who also plays characters with a slightly lower-pitched voice, such as a gangly type character and a manly character!
It is likely that he will appeared for supporting characters as well.

Yuki Sakakibara

Office Profile (with voice samples)

It has been commonplace in the voice acting industry for female voice actors to perform boy voices, but with the diversification of characters, there has been an increase in the need for voice actors to perform roles where the gender is not apparent at first hearing, such as boys dressed as women.
This voice actor is capable of such gender-bending performances, and with the release movie of the voice comic “Inaho-kun wa Nise Kanojo no Hazu na no ni”, he has gained favor with fans of the original work.
In 2024, she won the 18th Seiyu Award for Best New Voice Actor.
Although she has a high natural voice, she can also do lower male voices, such as that of Jushi　Aimonono in “Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle – Rhyme Anima,” so it is expected that she will continue to play a variety of roles in 2025 and beyond, using her Seiyu Award win as a springboard.

▼ I can’t believe Ritsuko’s voice is male…!The voice actors’ skills are amazing!

Kentaro Kumagai

His acting range is wide, from dependable to timid characters.
Also in 2025, he has already been chosen for several anime. He is from Okinawa and also appeared in “OKITURA:Okinawa de Suki ni Natta Ko ga Hougen Sugite Tsura Sugiru.” I am sure you will be able to hear Okinawan dialect as well!
