Personal life

edit

He is the eldest of three brothers.[2]

He also works as a lecturer at Nihon Narēshon Engi Kenkyūjo.[3]

His first appearance in Niconico live broadcast (for Kotoura-san) have created a huge impact on the Japanese audience, due to the way he acted freely (he was often compared to a comedian by the Japanese audience) during the broadcast, which was completely opposite to the image of the character he voiced previously – Jin Muso from Aquarion Evol. But according to other voice actors (such as Kana Hanazawa and Hiroki Yasumoto), Fukushima is actually a very serious person at the recording studio that barely speaks.[4] His style during live broadcast and radio is likely to be affected by the personality of the characters he voiced.
