Fumiya Takahashi (original) (raw)

Fumiya Takahashi (高橋文哉, Takahashi Fumiya) is a Japanese actor, chef, and voice actor who portrayed Aruto Hiden in Kamen Rider Zero-One.

Biography[]

Takahashi originally wanted to be a chef. However in 2017, he was entered in a beauty contest and was a finalist out of over 1000 applicants. He had his modeling debut in Popteen, though he still pursued a chef's license shortly after he graduated from high-school and occasionally maintains his online cooking blog. In 2018, Takahashi made his acting debut as a stage actor where he had a role in the stage play Romatan.

In 2019, Takahashi made his television debut in the role of Aruto Hiden in Kamen Rider Zero-One, and his film debut in Kamen Rider Zero-One: REAL×TIME.

Post Kamen Rider[]

After Zero-One, Takahashi has frequently appeared in dramas and films such as Sensei wo Kesu Houteishiki (The Equation to Erase The Teacher), and Ushikubi Village. In 2021, Takahashi portrayed Ko Ogino in the final live-action film adaptation of Kaguya-sama: Love is War[1], and reunited with his Zero-One co-star Hiroe Igeta in Bokura ga Koroshita, Saiai no Kimi.

In 2022, Takahashi starred as Dan Sagami, the leader of the boy band 8LOOM created for the drama Kimi no Hana ni Naru.

In 2023, Takahashi starred as Shintaro Manaka in Themis' Classroom alongside Kentaro Maeda, whom Takahashi has given advice to on-set as a "Reiwa Rider co-star".[2] The same year, Takahashi voiced the character Jester Garandros in the anime film Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, alongside other Kamen Rider voice actors such as Toshihiko Seki, Miyuki Sawashiro, Daisuke Ono, Hochu Otsuka and Junichi Suwabe.[3]

In late 2023, Takahashi starred as Gaku Kitada in Fermat no Ryori alongside Jun Shison and Takashi Ukaji.

In 2024, he portrayed Yamato Shibasaki in Love You as the World Ends FINAL, alongside Ryoma Takeuchi and Rihito Itagaki. Since May 2024, Takahashi has starred in Densetsu no Head Sho, alongside several other Tokusatsu alumni.[4] In August 2024, Takahashi portrayed Ryuji Ayukawa in a live-action film adaptation of Blue Period.

Personal life[]

Takahashi stated that his love for cooking stems from wanting to make his mother happy, which he noted was a similar type of motivation used for Aruto's love for Humagears.[5]
Takahashi was a fan of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger as a child. For his favorite Kamen Rider series, his answers had varied:
- During filming for Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer, he mentioned his favorite Rider was Black Woz, and was deeply honored to receive advice from Keisuke Watanabe on set.[6]
- During a miniseries, Takahashi explicitly states that his favorite Rider is Kamen Rider Decade.[7]
Takahashi suffers from acrophobia (fear of heights). During filming for Episode 39, he was lifted from a crane during the scene where Ark-Zero defeated Aruto.[8]
Takahashi was unanimously selected by the producers for his audition due to the fact that he was unable to actually come up with a good joke on the spot yet was able to quickly change his expression to match a typical comedian.[9]
