Kōji Yusa

Biography

As a child, Yusa lived near the Kyoto Racecourse in Yodo, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. As a gift for entering junior high school, he received a boombox and listened to radio dramas, which inspired him to become a voice actor. When he was in college, he majored in Japanese language studies. After graduating from college, he went through the 7th class of Katsuta Voice Actor Academy and made his debut as a voice actor in 1993 at the age of 25 in The Brave of Gold Goldran. At the time of his debut, he belonged to Office Kaoru; since leaving the company, he has been working freelance. He mainly works as a dubbing artist for anime, drama CDs, and foreign films, as well as a narrator for information programs. In addition to his main job as a voice actor, he has also worked in events and radio.

Yusa won the Synergy Award for Kamen Rider Den-O at the 2nd Seiyu Awards.

He married voice actress Kanako Mitsuhashi in 2007; in 2012, he announced on his radio program that they had divorced.
