Shun'ichi Toki


Shun'ichi Toki is a Japanese voice actor and singer from Tokyo, Japan affiliated with With Line.

Biography

Personal life

Toki grew up in a family that was interested in music, especially his father, who was one of his earliest influences. He would take him to a bar where he could sing, which is where he realized his love for singing and music. As well, he played music from several foreign artists; as such, Toki grew up listening to music from around the world, which exposed him to the English language at an early age. Some of this influence can be heard in Toki's mini-album "True Gazer", which was released in September 2020 and was inspired by music from the 1960s and 1970s. It also inspired his 2021 True Gazer Reading Live event, in which he played a character that could time travel to the time where his parents were teenagers. In certain scenes, he performed songs from "True Gazer" that fit the scenarios of the story.
Though Toki aspired to become a voice actor when he was a child, having enjoyed anime, manga, and video games since he was young, he never took it further until after he graduated from university. While in university, he occasionally helped one of his upperclassmen with their acting troupe, which helped him realize that he enjoyed acting. However, he did not enjoy performing in front of people, so he decided to become a voice actor so he would not have to act in front of others.
Before becoming a voice actor, he trained at a vocal school for aspiring voice actors, as well as AMG for around two years, before making his official debut and being signed to his current agency.

Career

He is affiliated with voice actor talent agency WITH LINE. He debuted as a voice actor in 2013, at the age of 24.
At the beginning of his career, he did not get many roles or major roles, but voiced background characters in anime such as Uta no Prince-sama. One of his first big roles was Growth's leader Eto Koki in the Tsukipro franchise, which allowed him to use one of his strongest points as a voice actor; his singing voice.
His debut single, The Promised Overture, which was released on May 15, 2019, was the ending theme of Midnight Occult Civil Servants. The song was inspired by Latin American pop music to fit the character he portrayed in the anime. It was meant to be a catchy tune that could easily be played on the radio and something that was memorable for an anime ending theme.

Radio

Toki hosts two radio programs; Café Tokinowa, which debuted in 2016, and Time With You, which debuted in May 2019 in honor of him becoming a solo artist and was bought by Pony Canyon, the record label he is signed with.
