Miki is known for his distinctively smooth voice and often calm delivery in the roles he has landed. He often gets cast as handsome young men in anime, perhaps the most notable being Youji Kudou – Balinese (Weiß Kreuz) and Kojirō ("James") (Pokémon). Other famous roles include Takumi Fujiwara (Initial D anime, video game and mostly Arcade Stage series from Arcade Stage 4 to Arcade Stage 8 Infinity), Kisuke Urahara (Bleach), Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighter), Lockon Stratos (Mobile Suit Gundam 00), Tatsuma Sakamoto (Gintama), Teppei Iwaki (Area no Kishi), Aikurō Mikisugi (Kill la Kill), Hitomi (Code: Breaker), Kagetora Aida (Kuroko's Basketball), Roy Mustang (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood), Zamasu (Dragon Ball Super), Bob Makihara (Tenjho Tenge), Keisuke Yuuki (Fushigi Yuugi) and Deishū Kaiki (Monogatari Series).
Miki is also a singer among the four-man band Weiß, along with Takehito Koyasu, Tomokazu Seki and Hiro Yūki, the four main voice actors of Weiß Kreuz. Miki is also very active in BL dramas. He won Best Actor in supporting roles in the 4th Seiyu Awards.
As well as voicing Kojirō, Miki (alongside Mika Kanai, Satomi Kōrogi, Unshō Ishizuka and many other Japanese voice actors) also appears in the Japanese and English versions of Pokémon, where he voiced many of the titular creatures such as Misty's Staryu, Brock's Zubat/Golbat/Crobat and Ash's Charizard.
He is also a friend of Koichi Yamadera. As he is revealed to have been married, his son, Kazuma, begins to follow his father's footsteps as a voice actor at age 19 and join the same agency as him on February 3, 2025.[2]
