Biography
Toya, born on November 30, 1998,[1] is a native of Tokyo[2] and of Kanagawa Prefecture.[3] As a young child, he lived for years in Thailand due to his parents' work.[4] He began playing the piano at the age of three, and he was invited to accompany a chorus competition while in junior high school due to his skills and once unsuccessfully auditioned to play jazz piano for a school club.[4] While in high school, he posted covers on YouTube and Nico Nico Douga, was the keyboardist of an all-male Princess Princess cover band, and was part of a volunteer comedy group who performed at school festivals and graduation parties.[4][5]
After spending some time in a high school drama club, he was offered both a lead role and the opportunity to be screenwriter and director for a school festival class play.[4] Auditioning for several comedians' offices and training schools, and going to acting workshops, he learned that he could make people laugh through acting, so he decided to pursue acting.[4][5] In October 2017, when he was 18 years old, he received a special award at Sony Music Artists' 6th Anistoteles' audition;[6][7] he had been inspired to participate by Inori Minase's win of the Anistoteles' Grand Prix.[4] He subsequently decided on a career in voice acting.[8] Afterwards, in 2019, he became the first student of Megumi Ogata's private acting school Team BareboAt, which opened in the same year.[7][9]
In 2022, he starred in his first main role as Denji in the anime Chainsaw Man,[7][10] with Ogata herself giving him words of encouragement.[9]
He won the Best New Actor Award at the 18th Seiyu Awards.[11]
His special skills include jazz piano and trombone.[1]
He has an older brother and older sister.[4]
