Takuya Eguchi, born May 22, 1987, in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, is the kind of actor whose voice pops up everywhere if you’re even a little into anime. He’s dived headfirst into some of the most popular series in the last decade, and honestly, he’s got range. You might’ve caught his work in “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” (2020), where the drama cranks up to eleven and every shout or whisper matters. He doesn’t just do the intense stuff, though. Back in 2013, he was in “Yahari Ore No Seishun Rabukome Wa Machigatteiru.” – a title that’s a mouthful, but the show? It’s sharp, clever, and a bit of a gut-punch for anyone who’s ever tried to fit in during high school. Then there’s “SPY×FAMILY” from 2022, which honestly, is just a wild ride—spies, fake families, psychic kids, the whole nine yards. Eguchi’s versatility shines through, whether he's voicing a moody teen, a deadly warrior, or a dad with a double life. The guy’s been hustling in the industry for years and has become a familiar sound for fans everywhere. It’s not just the big hits, either—he’s sprinkled across all sorts of genres, popping up in romance, action, comedy, you name it. Eguchi’s reputation? Reliable, expressive, and always able to bring a little extra spark to his roles. There’s a good chance you’ve heard him before, even if you didn’t realize it at the time.
Back in 2007, Eguchi and Nobunaga Shimazaki actually crossed paths for the first time at 81 Produce’s very first audition. Both guys made it all the way to the finals, which is wild when you think about where they ended up. Fast forward nearly eight years, and these two found themselves sharing the screen in Ore Monogatari!! Eguchi took on the role of the big-hearted, larger-than-life Takeo Gouda, while Shimazaki slipped into the shoes of his chill best friend, Makoto Sunakawa. It’s kind of cool how their careers overlapped like that, right? Going from audition rivals to co-stars in a fan-favorite anime—pretty solid glow-up. The chemistry between their characters in the show honestly just pops even more when you know the backstory, almost like fate lined it all up. That whole journey from hopefuls to leads? Feels like something straight out of an anime itself.
A couple’s favorite way to spend time together is by raiding their DVD collection—no genre is off-limits—and settling in for a cozy movie marathon, cuddled up on the couch. Sometimes, they head out for a bit of shopping, but with a twist: each person picks out clothes for the other, making it a friendly competition and sparking laughter over each new outfit choice. After goofing around in the shops, they always wrap things up with a meal, and curry is the top pick every time. There’s just something about the spicy, comforting flavor of curry paired with a glass of whiskey that makes everything feel just right. It’s simple, a little quirky, and honestly, these moments together are what they look forward to most, turning the ordinary into something memorable.
