Nijiro Murakami

Japanese actor and voice artist Murakami Nijiro was born into an artistic family. The son of acclaimed actor Murakami Jun and singer UA, he found himself in the limelight from a young age. His parents' divorce when he was just nine years old marked the beginning of his journey through life's ups and downs. Growing up with his mother, stepfather, and three half-siblings, Murakami developed resilience and adaptability that would later serve him well in his career.

While still attending preparatory school, Murakami moved with his family to Okinawa. This change of scenery would eventually lead to another significant shift in his life - acting. His natural talent for the craft was nurtured as he pursued his studies, and eventually led to his debut in 2014. In this breakout role, Murakami portrayed the main character Kaito in the critically acclaimed film "Still the Water". This powerful performance earned him the Best Newcomer Award at the prestigious 29th Kasaki Film Festival.

In the following year, Murakami continued to make waves in the industry with his television debut in "Tenshi no Naifu" and his portrayal of Jinta Yadomi in the live-action adaptation of the beloved anime series "AnoHana". That same year also saw him starring in the film "Wasurenai to Chikatta Boku ga Ita", further solidifying his standing as a talented actor.

In addition to his work on screen, Murakami has made a name for himself as a voice actor. Best known for voicing Hiro Shishigami in the popular anime series "Inuyashiki", he continues to showcase his diverse range of skills and talents. As part of the Japanese talent agency Decade, Murakami is sure to remain a prominent figure in both the acting and voice acting worlds for years to come.
