Japanese publisher Tokyo News Tsushinsha will release voice actor Fumiya Imai’s first photo book on September 30, 2024.After graduated from Amusement Media Academy, he made his professional voice acting debut in 2018. His first leading role was Yuya Niyodo in the TV anime Phantom of the Idol in 2023. He also starred as Hiiragi Kashima in the anime feature film given The Movie: Hiiragi Mix in 2024.”It has been a little over six years since I started working as a voice actor. I am still a rookie, and when I received the offer for a photo book, honestly, my first thought was, ‘… isn’t it too early?'” said Imai. “I am not used to having my picture taken, nor am I confident in my visual, so the option of refusing the offer crossed my mind. But! You only live once! I’m the type of person who often regrets not doing something, so let’s give it a try and then think about it. I accepted this offer with such a light mind, but when it started, I couldn’t stop my own commitment (laugh). I was particular about showing not only the image as a voice actor that I have experienced so far, but also new expressions and my own personality. I consulted with the staff a lot while shooting this photo book. I hope you enjoy it.”The photos were shot in Shinjuku Golden Gai, a well-established live house, Shinjuku LOFT, and a hotel in Roppongi, in an omnibus movie-like atmosphere, with Imai playing various characters.
