Biography

edit

Yu Miyazaki, a native of Kanagawa Prefecture, was born on 7 October 1991.[1][2] He became interested in narration after being impressed by the narration of a commercial for the Central Japan Railway Company's Sō da: Kyōto, ikō [ja] campaign.[3] While looking for jobs as a college student, he recalled his memory of the commercial, which he saw when he was nine years old, and considered a voice acting career.[3] However, he had no acting experience at all, so before entering a training school, he relied on the assistance of a friend of his to do a one-man show, which he wrote himself, in front of about a hundred guests.[3] He graduated as part of the Haikyo Voice Actors Studio's 46th class in 2014, and he joined Tokyo Actor's Consumer's Cooperative Society in 2015.[1]

Miyazaki made his voice acting debut as an English-speaking combatant in the 2016 anime Matoi the Sacred Slayer, later recalling in an interview that he said two English-language words as that character.[3] In June 2018, he was cast as Kiel in 100 Sleeping Princes and the Kingdom of Dreams: The Animation.[4] In March 2020, he was cast as Sachirō Hirugami in Haikyu!!.[5] In July 2020, he was cast as Vergil in Angelique Luminarise.[6] In September 2021, he was cast in The Heike Story.[7] He voiced Tsubaki in "Akakiri", a 2021 episode of Star Wars: Visions.[8] In August 2022, he was cast as Quartz in I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss.[9] In July 2023, he was cast as Itsuomi Nagi in A Sign of Affection.[10]

Miyazaki substituted for Yūichirō Umehara on the 13 May 2018 episode of the Kōtarō to Yūichirō Hyorotto Danshi radio program.[11]

Among Miyazaki's special skills are video production and video editing.[1]

On 2 October 2023, it was announced that Miyazaki had married voice actress Atsumi Tanezaki.[2]
