Japanese Voice Over Actors

Although I can only speak Japanese, I am an admirer of Shakespeare's work. I was an actor in the only theatre company in Japan specialising in performing the complete works of Shakespeare, where I learnt lines, monologues, acting and onstage skills. Many exponents of that theatre company are present in the Japanese entertainment industry. I later entered the broadcasting industry and developed my expressive skills for broadcast.
I studied under some of the best voice actors of the time and thoroughly learnt the importance of being yourself, which I continue to do today.
