Toshiyuki Itakura
Description
Toshiyuki Itakura is a Japanese entertainer whose primary professional activities are as a comedian and writer, rather than a dedicated voice actor. He is one half of the comedy duo Impulse, a fact highlighted in the credits for his most notable voice role.
Born January 30, 1978 in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, Itakura's career in entertainment has spanned both comedy and acting. His most recognized voice acting credit is Jean-Jacques Marceau in the 2005 film The Prince of Tennis: Two Samurais, The First Game. In this role, he provided the voice for the French player Jean-Jacques Marceau, a character who competes against the protagonist Ryoma Echizen. The film's cast listing also identifies Itakura as a member of the comedy duo Impulse, alongside his partner Atsushi Tsutsumishita, who voiced a different character in the same movie, Albert Schweiz.
Beyond this prominent role, information on a sustained voice acting career is limited. Itakura is documented to have provided a voice for the character of a young bishop in the 2006 animated fantasy film Brave Story. However, extensive or recurring voice roles in anime series are not well-documented in available records.
Itakura's career is more extensively defined by his live-action television and film appearances. His television drama credits include roles in series such as The Most Unfortunate Man in History in 2007, a guest role in The Negotiator in 2011, and more recently, appearances in If I Could Say 100 Times I Love You and the 2024 drama Extremely Inappropriate!. His filmography also includes live-action movies like Sugar & Spice and Fake Note.
Due to the absence of substantial documentation regarding a stable of recurring voice roles or frequent collaborations with specific animation studios or directors, it is not possible to establish patterns of work typical of a full-time voice actor. Public information does not provide a basis for detailing career achievements or awards specific to voice acting for Toshiyuki Itakura.
