Early Life
Hatanaka is the son of actors Hiroshi Hatanaka and Keiko Fukushima. His mother was also a choreographer, and taught him to dance. He wanted to be an actor like his parents as a boy. He was overweight as a kid, and his parents recommend him to target himself as a overweight actor if he wanted to pursue the career, which he did not. In High School, he was on the basketball team and as a cheerleader. He attended J. F. Oberlin University, studying psychology and sociology.[2]
Career
When Hatanaka was 16, he voiced Yuma Tsukumo and did the whistling for Kaito Tenjo in the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. He continued voice acting, appearing as Ushio in Ushio and Tora, Ikoma in Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Gō Nagakura in Battery, and Fudō Nomura in Armed Girl's Machiavellism. He was listed among the Best Voice Actors for Newtype Anime Awards in 2016.[3]
He is also the official Japanese voice-dubbing artist for Skandar Keynes as Edmund Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia, which was his debut role as a voice actor. Since 2013, Hatanaka has been employed by Ken Production.
His music career includes "Dying Wish", the opening theme for Moriarty the Patriot,[4] and "Twisted Hearts", the opening theme for the anime's second season.[5] In addition to his solo musical career, Tasuku is also a member of Animate Channel's group 8P.
On December 29, 2019, the agency I'm Enterprise announced in a statement that Hatanaka and Sayaka Senbongi had married.[6]
