Career

edit

Under the name Jun Ikeda, at age 14, Ikeda participated in the 19th Junon Super Boy Contest [ja] in 2006 and won second place.[4] Since his appearance in the 2011 musical Kokoro, produced by Niconico and based on the Vocaloid song of the same name, he changed his stage name to Junya Ikeda.[5][6]

On October 30, 2023, BaRu, Ikeda's talent agency, announced that they had canceled their contract with Ikeda after he was arrested on October 26.[7] The arrest stemmed from an incident on September 26, 2023 where Ikeda had allegedly impersonated a police officer and falsely claimed to a man in his 60s to give him his three cash cards to investigate an unauthorized withdrawal from his bank account.[3] On November 15, 2023, Ikeda was arrested again after it was found that he had reportedly withdrawn ¥1.5 million from the victim's bank accounts.[3] As a result of his arrests, his voice was removed from The Kingdoms of Ruin[8] and Ensemble Stars!.[9]

Personal life

edit

Ikeda announced in July 2018 that he had been married since 2016.[10][11] His wife, a non-celebrity woman, also had a daughter from her first marriage, born in 2007 or 2008 (age 16–17).[10] In addition, he and his wife had another child in 2018 (age 5–6).[10]
