Sakai was born in Kurume on September 30, 1986. In elementary school, Sakai was a fan of the Pokémon series, especially Rika Matsumoto's performance as Ash Ketchum, which would inspire him to become a voice actor. While working as a salaryman, he started watching anime again, which inspired to try voice acting again and quit his current job. He was later hired by Early Wing, where he made his voice acting debut as a caretaker in Karneval. In 2016, he received his first lead role with The Lost Village. In 2020, Sakai won the game award at the 14th Seiyu Awards. Filmography
