Career
Midorikawa debuted as a voice actor in 1988 with his role as Murai from Be-Bop High School. He is one of the most well-known and prolific voice actors in Japan, with more than 200 anime credits and close to 70 game credits in his two-decade career. He is known for voicing bishounen characters, such as Lancer in Fate/Zero, Kyōsuke Natsume in Little Busters! and Little Busters! Refrain, Eiichi Ōtori in Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 2000%, Rukawa Kaede in Slam Dunk, Ayato Sakamaki in Diabolik Lovers, and Edgar Ashenbert in Earl and Fairy. He has also voiced Tsunagu Hakamada (aka Best Jeanist) in My Hero Academia and Vidaldus Taka in Fairy Tail.
Midorikawa is also a J-Pop artist and was a member in several bands including Zero Phoenix and E.M.U. (Entertainment Music Unit) from the mid-1990s until the early 2000s. E.M.U. was formed by five voice actors from the radio drama Sotsugyou M (Male Graduation). The other members are Nobutoshi Canna (previously Hayashi), Ryōtarō Okiayu, Hideo Ishikawa, and Daisuke Sakaguchi. During their run from 1995 to 2000, the group released 8 CDs and four singles. Shortly before E.M.U. disbanded, Midorikawa joined his fellow voice actor and friend, Nobutoshi Canna, to create a new group, Zero Phoenix. The duo released one CD, titled "Kirameki".
His voice ranges between E2 and A4 (slightly B4). While singing, he ranges between C or D.
Midorikawa managed his own blog and is an avid gamer. He is a big fan of Super Robot Wars, having a blog entry on the SRW site; he is one of a few people to have a blog on Banpresto's "Supalog" website. As an SRW fan, Midorikawa does extra lines for his characters for free and sometimes acts as a beta tester for new games in the franchise. Usually the characters he is cast to play turn into one-man armies, namely Heero and Masaki in Super Robot Wars and Xingke in Code Geass.
