Fumiya Takahashi works on versatility rather than volume, and the catalogue keeps proving that the quieter choice was the correct one.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Fumiya Takahashi appears in 12 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Fumiya. Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King is the clearest case: a film rated 7.5 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are versatility, transformation, quiet performance. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for action, comedy, crime. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Tomohiko Ito, Yusuke Taki, Shinya Tamada and others, Fumiya Takahashi helped set a standard other performers now audition against. Awards bodies have been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.

The defining work
#1
Jun Setoyama
Our Secret Diary (2023)
Performance score7.4
The performance the rest of the career is read through. Jun Setoyama gives Fumiya Takahashi a structure to work against, and the film hands over its centre of gravity without hesitation.
View movie#2
Jester Garandros (voice)
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King (2023)
Performance score7.3
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Jester Garandros (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.
View movie#3
Aruto Hiden / Kamen Rider Zero-One
Kamen Rider Zero-One: Real Time (2020)
Performance score7.2
Kamen Rider Zero-One: Real Time asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Aruto Hiden / Kamen Rider Zero-One is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Performance score7.1
The Keeper of the Camphor Tree asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Reito Naoi (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Best entry point
as Jun Setoyama
Start here. Our Secret Diary is the clearest statement of what Fumiya Takahashi does — accessible, 111 minutes, and rated 6.7 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Fumiya at the most legible performance, then move forward in time so each film reads as a response to the one before it rather than a repetition of it.
Kamen Rider Zero-One: Real Time (2020)
A deliberate change of key after Our Secret Diary — same instrument, unfamiliar tuning, and the reason range gets mentioned.
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King (2023)
Keeps the action register of Kamen Rider Zero-One: Real Time but asks for a colder reading of it.
That Person Has Disappeared (2024)
A deliberate change of key after Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King — same instrument, unfamiliar tuning, and the reason range gets mentioned.
The Keeper of the Camphor Tree (2026)
Keeps the mystery register of That Person Has Disappeared but asks for a colder reading of it.

Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King
as Jester Garandros (voice)
The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
The Keeper of the Camphor Tree
as Reito Naoi (voice)
Grief played at conversational volume. The film never asks the audience to cry; the performance simply makes it difficult not to.
Most influential performance
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King
as Jester Garandros (voice)
You can hear this reading in other actors' auditions a decade later — the surest measure of influence there is.
Best ensemble performance
Kamen Rider Saber + Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: Super Hero Chronicles
as Aruto Hiden / Kamen Rider Zero-One
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
Our Secret Diary
as Jun Setoyama
If the career had to be argued in a single scene, our editors would pick one from this film and rest the case.
In their films' words
“You can build a whole film around a performer who knows when not to speak. Fumiya Takahashi has known it for a long time.”

Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King
as Jester Garandros (voice)
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King
as Jester Garandros (voice)
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
The Keeper of the Camphor Tree
as Reito Naoi (voice)
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
The Keeper of the Camphor Tree
as Reito Naoi (voice)
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King
as Jester Garandros (voice)
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King
as Jester Garandros (voice)
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King
as Jester Garandros (voice)
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
Ox-Head Village
as Shota
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
