Imai Fumiya (今井 文也) is a voice actor from Aomori Prefecture, Japan. He is Shinonome Akito's voice actor. He is currently affiliated with Rush Style.

Background

Imai had been watching anime from a young age and mentions being influenced by anime and other media - such as, him wanting to become an archaeologist studying Egypt and other ancient civilizations or an explorer due to Yu-Gi-Oh! and the 1999 American movie The Mummy. However, what made him decide to become a voice actor was the anime adaptation of CLANNAD, due to how much of an emotional impact it left on him.

Imai later graduated from Amusement Media Academy, and became a trainee at his current agency Rush Style in April 2018. He then debuted as a voice actor later the same year.

Akito is Imai's first singing role.

On October 10, 2023, Imai's agency announced that he was in poor health and had been hospitalized after it was discovered that he had inflammation in his internal organs. The agency announced his discharge from the hospital on October 18, 2023.
