AWanderingSorcererFor this week's #SeiyuuSaturday, we're covering #AkiToyosaki (b. 1986), who began voice acting in 2006.
We start our journey in 2009 with Toyosaki's break out role, Yui in #KOn. The guitarist and lead vocalist for Houkago Tea Time, this airheaded high schooler may not really know her way around a guitar, but she's still down for anything that comes her way. Toyosaki's performance is not overblown but makes its presence clear through its subtle hyperness and dreamy inflections.
In 2011, Toyosaki joined a different flavor of schoolgirl anime in #YuruYuri, where she voiced Chitose, one of the student council members. Typically a more reserved character, her yuri-influenced, nosebleeding fantasies gave Toyosaki the chance to add a bit of mania to her performance.
Jumping to 2013, we travel through a very different world through the eyes of Ai in #SundayWithoutGod. One of the few people who can help bring the immortal dead to rest, Ai finds herself dealing with her past, the world around her, and what her future will look like. Toyosaki's performance is equal amounts adorable and heartrending, helping to keep the emotionality in the series even during its less noteworthy parts.
2017 saw Toyosaki get to play a baddie in #recreators as Altair. The one responsible for thinning the barriers between our world and fictional ones, Altair presented a cool and calm appearance, but was able to show her despair-filled rage when pushed to her limits, moments expertly showcased by Toyosaki's heartrending and frighting vocal performance.
In 2018, Toyosaki got the chance to relax once again as Aoi in #YuruCamp. One of the members of the Outdoor Activities circle, Aoi always had a quip up her sleeve and a trolling smile when the moment called for it, yet is always there for her friends. Putting on the most adorable Kansai accent, Toyosaki's voice is filled with a certain level of charisma, charm, and kindness that lets Aoi get away with most anything she does.
Finally, in 2022, Toyosaki got to enjoy life in another world as Pharma de Medicis (clever) in #isekaiyakkyoku. Reborn as the son of a duke, Pharma is able to use his knowledge of pharmacy and god-given powers to help create a medical revolution in this world, albeit not without consequences. A rare young boy role for Toyosaki, she is able to put on a deeper register and show off more bravado than usual while still playing a good kid who simply wants the best for the world.
