Description
Hiroto Akiya is a Japanese voice actor and musician from Kumamoto Prefecture, born on October 28. He is 179 cm tall and has B-type blood. Akiya's interest in music was fostered from a young age due to his father being a composer. He pursued this interest alongside his performance training and made his debut in June 2017, providing the voice for Ingway in the game "Sky Craft Fleet".
