Ryōta Ōsaka

Ōsaka is the middle child of three siblings.^[1] He played on a baseball team in elementary school and on the softball team as pitcher in secondary school.^[2] He was involved with anime while attending junior high school, but had no particular dream on acting before entering high school.^[3] After graduating from a local technical high school, Ōsaka moved to Tokyo with a friend who also wanted to be a voice actor, and studied the basics of acting for two years at Nippon Kogakuin Hachioji College. After graduating, Ōsaka attended a voice actor training school, passed the additional audition for the agency Early Wing, and made his debut in 2010.

In April 2012, Ōsaka voiced Yuki Sanada in Tsuritama. Yukio Nagasaki, who saw his performance at the audition, said he thought that he could become the face of "a new generation of male voice actors in main roles". Nagasaki's support won Ōsaka the role. At the first post-recording, he was nervous and was encouraged by his co-star Tomokazu Sugita, who told him, "We will work, so you can concentrate." He received Best Male Newcomer at the 9th Seiyu Awards in 2015. He also hosts the radio show ŌHana (逢坂市立花江学園, Ōsaka Shiritsu Hanae Gakuen) along with voice actor Natsuki Hanae.^[4] Ōsaka announced his marriage to fellow voice actress Manami Numakura on October 23, 2019.^[5] Numakura gave birth to their first child, a boy, on December 19, 2021.^[6]

Feature

• Kenji Nakamura, director of Tsuritama, said, "There is no sarcasm when you listen to him, or rather, he has a clear and colorless voice, like water, which is suitable for a leading role"^[7] and Nippon Broadcasting System announcer Naoki Yoshida said, "The main character can grow correctly without being deliberate".^[8] His best role is that of "a cheerful boy in high school".^[9]
• He says that wanting to be like Rid Herschel from Tales of Eternia, played by Akira Ishida, is what inspired him to become a voice actor, and he considers Ishida to be his target voice actor ^[9]. Among the roles played by Ishida, he especially likes characters like Rid and Athrun Zala from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, who seem to be the main characters.^[1]
• He says that he loves to sing, and he also does singing work. She also loves to sing, and does some singing as well^[9].She is also very active in interacting with her fans, saying that receiving their voices at events helps her in her work.^[10]
