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 October 2018, Toya was cast in DMM Games' Wind Boys! project.[10] In 2022, he starred in his first main role as Denji in the anime Chainsaw Man,[7][11] with Ogata herself giving him words of encouragement.[9] He later starred as Akira Kiyose in Sony Music Entertainment Japan's UniteUp! project, Donny in Four Knights of the Apocalypse, Mikoto Yuzuki in The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, and Fubuki in The Elusive Samurai.[12][13][14][15] In November 2023, he was a guest at the North American premiere of Four Knights of the Apocalypse at Anime NYC 2023.[16]
In 2024, he won the Best New Actor Award at the 18th Seiyu Awards.[17] He will star as Mitsuru Kudou in the third season of The Irregular at Magic High School and Hadis Teos Rave in The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor.[18][19]
