A career in Japanese voice acting

Natsuki Hanae is a Japanese voice actor born in Kanagawa on 26 June 1991. His performances have brought a range of young protagonists to life in television animation and films.

In Tokyo Ghoul, Hanae voices Ken Kaneki, a young man whose life changes after he becomes caught between human and ghoul worlds. The role asks his voice to carry the character’s fear and shifting sense of identity.

He also voices pianist Kōsei Arima in Your Lie in April. In that music-centered story, his performance helps express a young musician’s grief and gradual return to a world of sound.

Hanae voices Tanjiro Kamado in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, including its animated film stories. Tanjiro’s determination to protect others sits alongside his compassion, giving the performance room for both intensity and tenderness.

His credits also include Haruichi Kominato in Ace of Diamond. Looking across these roles shows how voice acting can distinguish characters not just through pitch but through timing, breathing and emotional emphasis.
