Iemasa Kayumi (家弓 家正, Kayumi Iemasa, October 31, 1933 – September 30, 2014)[1] was a Japanese actor, voice actor and narrator from the Tokyo Metropolitan area.

He was the official voice-over actor for Frank Sinatra and Donald Sutherland.

Biography[edit]

Kayumi was born in Tokyo Prefecture and moved to Kagoshima Prefecture when he was a boy because of wartime evacuation.[2] He entered Kagoshima Prefectural Daini-Kagoshima Middle School.[2] Due to educational reform in occupied Japan, Daini-Kagoshima Middle School became Kagoshima Prefectural Konan High School. He studied at Kagoshima Konan High School[2] and was in drama club.[3] Because he came to aspire to an actor during his high school life,[2] he went to Tokyo and learned at the acting school, Butai Geijutsu Gakuin (Theater Art College, ja:舞台芸術学院).[4] He became an actor of shingeki and then also worked as a voice actor since 1956.[5]

During his long career, he belonged to some troupes and affiliated with talent agencies for voice actors, for example, Aoni Production.[6] He was finally affiliated with 81 Produce until his death at the age of 80 on September 30, 2014, while undergoing medical treatment.[7]

Fellow voice actor and drinking companion Norio Wakamoto called him a precision machine since he never made a mistake when recording. Ayumi Fujimura cited Kayumi as an inspiration.
