Japanese voice actor and singer. Works for Across Entertainment. He also co-hosts the Ouhana radio show with Ryota Osaka. He won the Seiyu Awards twice: in 2015 for Best Aspiring Actor and in 2017 for "Personal Approach."
Natsuki Hanae, a famous Japanese voice actor and singer, was born on June 26, 1991 in Kanagawa Prefecture (Honshu Island, Japan). Supported the release of the Tokyo Ghoul anime.
For those who do not know who the seiyuu is
Unlike other countries, where famous actors and singers are invited to voice cartoons, in Japan there is a separate profession for this - seiyu. There are special seiyu courses and this profession is considered very honorable and worthy. In addition to the skill of dubbing various characters, vocals are also taught in the courses. Therefore, we can assume that in such courses a person receives 2 professions - directly a voice actor and a singer.
Biography
Little is known about Natsuki's early childhood, but one thing is for sure - his studies attracted little. That is why, after going to high school, the guy went to work in college. Natsuki was already fond of vocals and even wanted to become a singer, but one day, watching a famous Japanese anime series sparked in him a desire to become a voice actor for films and anime series.
Unlike most voice actors, Natsuki did not study voice acting and never attended courses. He strongly wanted to be like Koichi Yamadere (57-year-old voice actor who has voiced over 220 characters since 1987) and this was a key factor in his success. So in 2009, a young man sent recordings of his voice via the Internet to Across Entertainment. He needed this job and he got it - in November the company took him to their state.
But the personal life of the actor, like his childhood, is covered with a veil of secrecy. It is only known that in 2016 he got married. The actor announced this event in August.
Career
Working as a voice actor since 2009, Natsuki only voiced his first role in the film Tari Tari in 2011. He spoke there for Atsuhiro Maeda. In some episodes of this anime, Natsuki Hanae's name was credited as a composer.
And now, almost eight years have passed since the beginning of a voice actor's career, and Natsuki's work has more than 70 roles in anime series alone. Anyway, Hanae has already made a significant contribution to Japanese culture. Namely:
- 8 roles in animated films;
- 10 roles in OVA (this format is a collection of short films of 23-25 minutes, which are collected on a DVD);
- 50 video games with his voice acting;
- 2 singles.
In 2015, Natsuki was presented with the well-deserved Seiyu Awards for Best Aspiring Actor. He currently hosts Radio ŌHana with his colleague Ryota Oosaka. Hanae chose video games and karaoke as his hobby.
