Yuichi Hose
Description
Yuichi Hose is a Japanese voice actor and narrator affiliated with the agency ACROSS ENTERTAINMENT. He was born on July 22, 1986, in Shizuoka Prefecture. Hose is a graduate of Tamagawa University, where he studied performing arts in the College of Arts. His path to voice acting was inspired by a lifelong love of film, though a lack of confidence in his English skills led him to pursue dubbing and animation rather than a career in live-action Hollywood films. He began his professional career in 2010 after successfully auditioning and joining ACROSS ENTERTAINMENT. His stage name, Hose, is derived from a school nickname, Jose, which he adopted to avoid confusion with another actor who shared his birth surname, Hasegawa.
Hose's early career consisted of smaller roles in anime and video games, with some of his first credited appearances in series like Bleach and the game忍道2 散华. A significant turning point came with his casting in two major male idol multimedia franchises. He voices the passionate and heroic Chiaki Morisawa, the leader of the unit Ryuseitai, in the popular game and anime series Ensemble Stars!. He also plays the role of the stern but caring former actor Sakyo Furuichi in the theatre-themed franchise A3!. These roles brought him wider recognition and established him as a key part of successful ensemble casts.
Beyond these flagship roles, Hose has built a diverse portfolio of voice work. In anime, he is known for his role as Daichi Ishizaki in Classroom of the Elite. His game credits are extensive and include the character Felix in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Lennox in Promise of Wizard. He is also slated to appear in major game titles, providing the voice for the historical figure Yasuke in the 2025 release Assassin's Creed: Shadows. In addition to character voicing, Hose works frequently as a narrator for television programs, commercials, and documentaries.
Hose has formed recurring creative partnerships. He is part of a musical duo named Ichidamanzu with fellow voice actor Shugo Nakamura, with whom he participates in live performances and radio shows. He is also a regular presence in the Ensemble Stars! franchise, appearing on its official radio programs and at live events alongside his castmates. Outside of performance, he shares his expertise as a special instructor at a professional voice acting school. His personal interests include singing, playing the guitar, and performing traditional Japanese taiko drumming.
