Biography

Yuki Sakakihara, a native of Ibara, Okayama Prefecture, was born on 18 September 1995.[1][2][3] He lived "[so] deep in the mountains of Okayama Prefecture" it was difficult for him to go out for karaoke.[4]

Inspired by a class reading in elementary school and experience with narrating his high school student council's film for the cultural festival, he decided to go into voice acting.[5] After being eliminated in the finals of the NHK-sponsored Seiyū Stadium audition, he attended Amusement Media Academy at night in parallel with his day classes at a university, where he was a biology major.[5][4] He graduated from Amusement Media Academy in 2017,[6] and he chose 81 Produce as his agency after meeting with Kujira, who was a family connection to one of his college friends.[7]

In 2018, Sakakihara became part of Sega's Readyyy!  multimedia franchise as Uta Kamijō.[8] In February 2020, he became part of Bushiroad's From Argonavis franchise as Shu Ujigawa, the vocalist of in-universe band Epsilon Phi.[9] In September 2021, it was announced that he would voice Nanaki Ralei, a major character in The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt.[10] In 2023, he voiced Asahi Ikusaba in My One-Hit Kill Sister, Polka Shinoyama in Dead Mount Death Play, Yako Amano in Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds, Peter in Bikkuri-Men, and Jyushi Aimono in Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle: Rhyme Anima.[11][12][13][14] [15] In 2024, he starred as Yūya in A Condition Called Love and Juri in Vampire Dormitory.[16][17]

In October 2023, he was a guest at Okayama Momo Anime Fes in Okayama, Okayama Prefecture, where he had a talk show and "with his native prefecture's encouragement, renewed his resolve".[2] He won the Best New Actor Award at the 18th Seiyu Awards.[18]

He is also a fan of Ling Tosite Sigure, singing their lead vocalist Toru Kitajima's song "Hikari no Akuma" as part of Epsilon Phi.[19]
