A voice and presence across mediums

Miou Tanaka is a Japanese actor and voice actor born on 4 July 1974 in Hyogo Prefecture. His work spans theatre, television, film and voice performance.

After studying performing arts at Osaka University of Arts, Tanaka trained and worked with the Haiyuza theatre company. His agency lists a substantial range of stage productions alongside his screen work.

His screen credits include the Kingdom film series. He also works in voice acting and Japanese-language dubbing, bringing his voice to characters across different formats.

In Godzilla Minus One (2023), Tanaka played Tatsuo Hotta, the captain who helps lead the effort against Godzilla. His role forms part of the film’s larger group of people working together in postwar Japan.

From live theatre to voice work and a large-scale disaster film, his career shows how performance changes with the medium while still relying on the precision of voice and presence.
