Profile [edit]

Apart from having an unusual voice, he plays the saxophone; Midorikawa also loves drawing, games and computers. He has been a voice actor since 1988, he began his career as Murai from Be-Bop High School.

Aside from his voice actor activities, he is also a J-Pop artist and has been a part of voice actor-formed bands such as Entertainment Music Unit (E.M.U) and Zero Phoenix. E.M.U was formed by five voice actors from the radio drama Sotsugyou M (Male Graduation). Aside from him, the other members are Nobutoshi Canna (previously Hayashi), Ryōtarō Okiayu, Hideo Ishikawa, and Daisuke Sakaguchi. During their run from 1995 to 2000, the group released 8 CDs, 4 singles and countless performances and appearances. Shortly before E.M.U disbanded, he joined with his fellow voice actor and friend, Nobutoshi Canna, to create a new group, Zero Phoenix. The duo only released one CD so far titled "Kirameki". It's unknown whether or not the group is still together or when they will release another CD.[2]

He manages his own website called Hikaru's Bar. Additionally, he is one of a handful of people to have a blog on Banpresto's "Supalog" website. It should be noted that he is a big fan of the super robot wars series and it's rumored he voices his roles in them for free.
