RYUNOSUKE
KAMIKI

Ryunosuke Kamiki (神木隆之介) was born in Saitama, Japan, on 19 May 1993. He entered entertainment as a child, appearing in advertising in 1995 and making his television drama debut in Good News in 1999. His early career already crossed between acting on camera and giving a voice to animated characters.

He voiced Boh in the Japanese version of Spirited Away. Years later, he played Taki Tachibana in Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name (2016), a story built around two young people experiencing each other’s lives. Voice work lets a shift of pace or emphasis carry a change of identity even when the performer’s own face is absent.

His live-action career includes the lead in The Great Yokai War (2005), The Kirishima Thing (2012) and Seta Sojiro in the two 2014 Rurouni Kenshin films. These roles move from a child caught in a fantasy conflict to a young observer at school and a swordsman whose composure conceals danger.

In Godzilla Minus One (2023), directed by Takashi Yamazaki, he plays Koichi Shikishima, a man returning from war to a devastated Japan. The film reunited him with Minami Hamabe after the television drama Ranman. FLM.RED’s reading of the performance focuses on how an ordinary encounter can be interrupted by fear: the human scale remains essential even when the threat fills the horizon.
