Ikeda made his acting debut on the 2007 television drama Our Textbook and rose to popularity for his role as Gai Ikari/Gokai Silver in the 2011 television series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. As a voice actor, he portrayed Mitsuru Tenma in Ensemble Stars! and Million Knives in Trigun Stampede.

Career

Under the name Jun Ikeda, at age 14, Ikeda participated in the 19th Junon Super Boy Contest in 2006 and won second place.[6] Since his appearance in the 2011 musical Kokoro, produced by Niconico and based on the Vocaloid song of the same name, he changed his stage name to Junya Ikeda.[7][8] On October 30, 2023, BaRu, Ikeda's talent agency, announced that it had canceled their contract with him after he was arrested on October 26.[9]

Personal life

Ikeda has been married since 2016.[10][11] His wife, a non-celebrity woman, also had a daughter from her first marriage born in 2018.[10] The couple also had another child born that same year.[10]

Special fraud allegations and arrest

On October 26, 2023,[9] Ikeda was arrested from an incident on September 26, where he had allegedly conspired with several other accomplices on a special fraud case. He allegedly impersonated a police officer and falsely claimed to a man in his 60s to give him his three cash cards to investigate an unauthorized withdrawal from his bank account.[3] On November 15, Ikeda was arrested again after it was found that he had reportedly withdrawn ¥1.5 million from the victim's bank accounts.[3] As a result of his arrests, his voice was removed from The Kingdoms of Ruin[12] and Ensemble Stars!.[13] On October 12, 2024, Ikeda revealed on his Twitter account that he was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison.[5]
