Jun Fukushima (福島 潤, Fukushima Jun, born September 4, 1976[1] in Ehime Prefecture) is a Japanese voice actor and narrator who is affiliated with Arts Vision. He is most well known for his role as Kazuma Sato in the anime/light novel series Konosuba. He has been acting since the 1990s.

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.
