Celebrating Tomohito Takatsuka's Birthday Event 2025
On August 24, 2025, a special online birthday celebration took place for renowned voice actor Tomohito Takatsuka, streamed via Nico Nico Live. This event, titled
'Tomohito Takatsuka Birthday Event 2025 supported by Animelo', was a heartfelt occasion where Takatsuka connected with his fans and fellow voice actors, including guests such as Tomokazu Sugita, Atsushi Tamura, Daiki Kobayashi, Toshinari Fukamoto, and Jun Suetsugu as the MC.
A Day to Celebrate
The event was split into two parts: a daytime session and an evening session. Takatsuka took this opportunity to express his gratitude to his supporters, creating a warm and interactive environment throughout.
During the day's segment, the atmosphere was electric as fans cheered “Taka-pi!” (Takatsuka's nickname) at the beginning of the event. Takatsuka made his grand entrance through the audience, igniting a wave of excitement as onlookers joined in the shout online too. The opening was filled with adorable moments, including a lighthearted display where the three guests showed off their hands to emphasize their mutual appreciation for clean hands.
A pleasant surprise for Takatsuka arrived in the form of a voice message from his admired voice actress, Eriko Nakamura, which was met with astonished joy. Many viewers commented on Takatsuka's heartfelt reaction, saying, “He looks so happy and cute” and “He's about to cry!”
The event featured a segment where fans could post questions, with participants predicting who would be the first to wish him a happy birthday. Takatsuka shared how close friends like Toshinari Fukamoto typically message him right as his birthday begins, though he humorously lamented that it doesn't often happen for him, reflecting on how uncommon it is for guys to do so.
Engaging Games and Surprises
One of the first interactive games titled
“Ultra-Feeling! What's Inside the Box?” had Takatsuka, Sugita, and Tamura trying to guess which Kinnikuman figure was hidden inside a box, which was a tough challenge that led to lots of laughs and playful banter. Takatsuka’s jokes about difficulty had fans commenting online about learning more about Kinnikuman or calling the game impossible.
Next came the entertaining segment,
“Takatsuka Tomohito's Kuji Mate – Lines Requested by Sugita and Tamura.” Here, Takatsuka drew lines written by guest voice actors, ranging from humorous to romantic, making fans delight in the creativity.
The highlight of the event included the
“Takatsuka Tomohito Special Birthday Live”, showcasing performances of
“Tsuyogari Hero” and
“est.” Fans gushed over his singing, filling the comment section with praise.
Additionally, a unique lottery giveaway allowed selected fans to try their hand at a casual game of “Go That Way.” Unlike typical giveaways, the experience was unexpected and engaging.
Takatsuka ended his appreciative remarks, saying, “I never expected these two to come… It's like a dream. I'm so grateful for sharing a stage with my admired seniors.”
Evening Session Magic
The evening segment featured Takatsuka's closest friends Daiki Kobayashi and Toshinari Fukamoto, filling the air with a relaxed vibe. With familiar conversations revolving around their mutual interest in gaming, they entertained the audience with anecdotes.
As gifts were exchanged, Kobayashi presented a circulator, referencing a conversation where Takatsuka had admired it. Humorously, Kobayashi later realized he revealed information before it was supposed to be made public. They shared another heartwarming moment when voice messages from admired actors Chiwa Saito and Hiromi Sakurai surprised Takatsuka, eliciting visible delight from him.
The games continued, transforming the event into an RPG-like adventure with playful competitions. One such challenge,
“Janken Challenge,” drew participation from both fans and guests, resulting in laughter and camaraderie.

“Hearing Challenge,” various guests and fans shared what they loved about Takatsuka, yielding sincere compliments and showcasing the deep affection everyone holds for him.
