Biography
Sakai was born in Kurume on September 30, 1986.[1][2][3] In elementary school, Sakai was a fan of the Pokémon series, especially Rika Matsumoto's performance as Ash Ketchum, which would inspire him to become a voice actor. While working as a salaryman, he started watching anime again, which inspired to try voice acting again and quit his current job.[4] He was later hired by Early Wing, where he made his voice acting debut as a caretaker in Karneval. In 2016, he received his first lead role with The Lost Village.[4]
In 2020, Sakai won the game award at the 14th Seiyu Awards.[5]
