Biography

edit

Fumiya Imai, a native of Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, was born on 5 October 1997.[1][2] He became interested in cue sports as a youth and even wanted to become a professional to the point of visiting a billiard hall.[3][4] However, by high school, he had lost interest in the game and was not doing well in his technical classes, so he sought a different job.[3][4] Inspired by the Clannad anime to go into voice acting,[5] he discovered his voice acting talent practicing with his phone's voice recorder, and subsequently left his badminton club and made plans to move to Tokyo.[4]

He was educated at the Amusement Media Academy [ja].[6] While still a student, he was an assistant personality for the eighth season of the Radio Nippon show Shūkan Kobayashi Yū  [ja].[7] He became a full member of Rush Style in January 2022.[8]

He voices Akito Shinonome, one of the members of Vivid Bad Squad as part of the video game Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!.[9] He has also performed in several of their music releases, including the 2021 single "Rad Dogs / Cinema" (which charted at #9 in the Oricon Combined Singles Chart) and the 2022 album Vivid Bad Squad Sekai Album Vol.1 (which charted at #2 in the Oricon Combined Albums Chart).[10][11] He will reprise his role as Akito in the 2025 film Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can't Sing.[12]

His first lead role was Yuya Niyodo in the 2022 anime television series Phantom of the Idol,[13] and he and his co-star Shun Horie formed the tie-in unit Zings.[14] He later voiced Musashi in the 2022 anime Hanabi-chan Is Often Late.[15]

His hobbies include snowboarding, darts, and mahjong, and his special skills include speaking the Tsugaru dialect and playing billiards.[1]
