Japanese: 神木 隆之介
Birthdate: May 19, 1993
I saw this lad for the first time in Koukousei Restaurant.
He plays Yosuke Sakamoto, the best student chef in Shouka High School. I wasn’t
a bit familiar with Ryunosuke, and I thought there must be something about this
boy that had landed him to such an important role in the drama. It turned out
that I knew him all along! Well, not really by face, but by voice. Yes, Ryunosuke is a voice actor.
He has lent his voice to many popular characters: Spirited Away’s Bo, Arriety’s Sho, and Summer Wars’ Kenji,
among others. If you have watched the movies I’ve mentioned, you’ll know that
the characters are very different from each other. I didn’t have a clue that
they were voiced by the same actor until I read it on Wikipedia. I really have
high respect for Japanese voice actors. In my opinion, Japan has one of the
best voice actors in the world.
Note: In the images shown above, The Great Yokai War is a 2005 fantasy movie that stars Ryunosuke Kamiki and in which he was nominated for the Newcomer of the Year Award.
