Biography

Fumiya Imai, a native of Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, was born on 5 October 1997. He became interested in cue sports as a youth and even wanted to become a professional to the point of visiting a billiard hall. However, by high school, he had lost interest in the game and was not doing well in his technical classes, so he sought a different job. Inspired by the Clannad anime to go into voice acting, he discovered his voice acting talent practicing with his phone's voice recorder, and subsequently left his badminton club and made plans to move to Tokyo.

He was educated at the Amusement Media Academy [ja]. While still a student, he was an assistant personality for the eighth season of the Radio Nippon show Shūkan Kobayashi Yū  [ja]. He became a full member of Rush Style in January 2022.

He has also performed in several of their music releases, including the 2021 single "Rad Dogs / Cinema" (which charted at #9 in the Oricon Combined Singles Chart) and the 2022 album Vivid Bad Squad Sekai Album Vol.1 (which charted at #2 in the Oricon Combined Albums Chart). He will reprise his role as Akito in the 2025 film Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can't Sing.

His first lead role was Yuya Niyodo in the 2022 anime television series Phantom of the Idol, and he and his co-star Shun Horie formed the tie-in unit Zings. He later voiced Musashi in the 2022 anime Hanabi-chan Is Often Late.
