Biography

Takuma Nagatsuka, a native of Kanagawa Prefecture, was born on 4 October 1991.[2] He decided to go into acting after attending his junior high school's cultural festival, and thus spent his high school years at a school with a drama club.[3] He also attended a cram school to attend the Nihon University College of Art, but forgot to bring his admission ticket for the university's entrance exam.[4] Subsequently, he spent a few years working as a Yokohama municipal government employee, before attending the Japan Narration Acting Institute and joining an agency.[5]

He voiced Leo Saionji in King of Prism by Pretty Rhythm (2015), King of Prism: Pride the Hero (2017), and King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars (2019).[6][7][8] He starred as Shota Shizuka in Momokuri and Hotaru Aoba in Butlers: Chitose Momotose Monogatari,[9][10] as well as Koji Koda/Anima in My Hero Academia.[11] In 2021, he played the main roles of Kuro in Dr. Ramune: Mysterious Disease Specialist, Miya Chinen in SK8 the Infinity, and Veuve Elizabeth in Visual Prison,[12][13][14] and he was a guest at AnimeJapan 2021.[15] In 2024, he was cast as Light, a main character in Bogus Skill "Fruitmaster".[16]

Nagatsuka voices Jun Fuyumi, one of the members of the High x Joker quintet in The Idolmaster SideM, a sub-franchise of The Idolmaster franchise.[17] In August 2021, he was diagnosed with COVID-19 along with several other Idolmaster voice actors, resulting in the postponement of the Side Hokkaido concerts in the 6th Live Tour: Next Destination!.[18] He performed in the 2022 album The Idolmaster Side M49 Elements: 01 High x Joker, which charted at #19 in the Oricon Albums Chart.[19]

Personal life

He is a tea lover and has a tea time segment on his show Nagatsuka Takuma no Koko dake!,[20] where he also created his own original tea brand, "Wonderland" (stylized in all-caps).[21] In 2018, Wonderland became available at Shufunotomo's online shop as a collaboration with Yokohama tea store La Théière.[21]

His special skills include playing the ocarina and doing handstands.[1] He holds a regular driver's license.[1]
