Eiji Miyashita

Career

When Miyashita was a child, he admired Kōichi Yamadera, who played Kurama Wataribe in Mashin Hero Wataru, and decided to become a voice actor in his third year of high school. On the recommendation of his parents, he enrolled in a university in Nara, but he could not give up his dream of becoming a voice actor, so he dropped out after one year and attended Yoyogi Animation Academy in Osaka while working part-time. On the advice of a lecturer at Yoyogi Animation Academy, he entered the training school of Ken Production in the Kanto region, and began working as a voice actor around the age of 22 when he was placed under the care of the office.

In 2007, he attracted attention for playing three completely different types of characters: the role of Gen Shishio in Kekkaishi, the role of Predator in Bakugan Battle Brawlers, and the role of Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Afterwards, he left Ken Production in 2008 and worked as a freelancer until June 2009, but after belonging to Production Baobab from July 2009 to August 2011, he started working as a freelancer again in September 2011.

Miyashita has been a member of Aptepro since February 2013. As part of his activities, he has formed a recital theater unit called "Lit Klatch" (formerly "LK VI").

In an interview with Girs-Style, Miyashita said that he doesn't remember exactly the first job he got, but it was probably a Western movie. He recalled that the first role he remembered was an unnamed character in Big Wolf on Campus, and that the first named role was Takeo Tsurumaru in Shadow Star. In the aforementioned interview, Miyashita said that he was advised by a Western film dubbing director to just be there as the character and not to think too much about the role, and he felt that well thought out words are not convincing. He said that he tried to concentrate on the role rather than doing calculations, and that he did not remember much about his roles after performing them.
