Jun Sugiyama[3] (杉山 純, Sugiyama Jun, born October 27, 1992), known professionally as Junya Ikeda (池田 純矢, Ikeda Jun'ya) and formerly Jun Ikeda (池田 純, Ikeda Jun), is a Japanese actor. Ikeda made his acting debut on the 2007 television drama Our Textbook and rose to popularity for his role as Gai Ikari / Gokai Silver in the 2011 television series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. As a voice actor, he portrayed Mitsuru Tenma in Ensemble Stars! and Million Knives in Trigun Stampede.

Career

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from his bank account.[3] On November 15, 2023, Ikeda was arrested again after it was found that he had reportedly withdrawn ¥1.5 million from the victim's bank accounts.[3] As a result of his arrests, his voice was removed from The Kingdoms of Ruin[8] and Ensemble Stars!.[9]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

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]
