Takeuchi Shunsuke regresses from his days of “strong individuality” and talks about his ideal acting style

Voice actor Shunsuke Takeuchi appeared in the July issue of fashion magazine “Oggi,” released on the 28th. The series “Mimikoi: I Want to Hear the Voice of My Favorite” takes photos of popular voice actors, and explores his charms.

In “Black Butler: Boarding School Arc”, Takeuchi plays Herman Greenhill, a sportsman who is strict with himself and others. Takeuchi delivers a powerful performance as Greenhill, but when asked about his ideal acting style, he said, “It may go against the current trend of demanding strong individuality, but I want to play a character who I've heard somewhere before, but I don't know who's playing him. I aim to become the character so completely that it gives the illusion that it's someone other than me.” Surprisingly, he is particular about not being unique.

On the other hand, he never forgets to have a learning attitude. During the recording of “Black Butler: Boarding School Arc”, he learned to never become complacent, no matter how much experience you have, by watching his senior voice actors Daisuke Ono and Maaya Sakamoto take on roles that they have played for over 15 years.

“I used to think that as I gained experience and became a veteran, I had to have confidence, but it's okay to feel anxious.

It is because of these feelings that we have the drive to take on new challenges and evolve. I want to grow in that way.” This is an episode that the Oggi generation can relate to in their work.

Takeuchi is also popular for her strong visuals. This issue also features a newly shot of Takeuchi wearing an off-white knitwear, exuding a gentle and clean sexiness. You can enjoy the interview and the strongest visuals of this young and talented voice actor, who will be the future of voice acting.
