Shun Mikami is a Japanese actor from Tokyo, born on November 12, 1981.
He’s known for his versatility on stage, often taking on both male and female roles in drama and musical productions.
He graduated from Toho High School and has worked with prominent theater troupes, particularly Studio Life.
Well-loved for his expressive performances, especially in adaptations of popular manga and anime, Mikami has become a familiar face in Japan’s 2.5D stage world.
Known affectionately as “Mikashun,” he continues to charm audiences across the country.
Shun Mikami grew up in Tokyo and attended Toho High School.
He displayed a passion for acting from a young age, having joined a children's theater group before high school.
During his first year of high school, he appeared in his debut stage production “The Friends.”
Mikami joined the theater troupe Studio Life in 2004, where he gained recognition for playing a variety of roles, sometimes portraying female characters in plays like "Byakuyako" and "Fruits Basket."
His approach to picking Studio Life was refreshingly casual: he saw their audition notice at the top of an audition magazine and decided to give it a shot.
He shined in signature stage adaptations such as "Toma no Shinzou," "Adolf ni Tsugu," and especially "Fruits Basket," where he played Tohru Honda.
His musical debut came in 2010 with “Kiniro no Corda Stella Musical.”
He continued to explore diverse roles, later joining the all-male actor group NAKED BOYZ from 2010 to 2012, expanding his repertoire.
In 2012, Mikami left Studio Life and, from 2013 to 2017, was signed to AIS, a division of Japan Music Entertainment.
Since 2018, he has been working independently and is considered a freelance actor.
On stage, Mikami has a long list of credits including "Saiyuki Kagekiden," "Musical Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun," "Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu," "Miracle Train," and “xxxHOLiC.”
Aside from theater, Mikami has appeared on television, such as in "Sengoku Otokoshi" and "Sengoku Nabe TV," and has even lent his voice for a meditation CD.
His commitment, flexibility, and slightly androgynous appeal have made him a sought-after talent in Japan’s vibrant stage scene.
On November 12, 2019, Mikami announced his marriage through his personal blog, warmly thanking his fans and supporters.
Shun Mikami stands 172 cm tall and has blood type O.

His public profile often highlights his open and friendly personality, as well as his welcoming attitude toward new challenges and experiences.
He prefers to keep his family life private, but is known to be warm and grateful toward his supporters.
Mikami has often played female or androgynous characters on stage—a trait that has become one of his defining marks.
He originally kept his birth year private, but made it public when joining AIS in 2013.
He describes choosing Studio Life simply because their listing appeared first in the audition magazine, showing his spontaneous and relaxed approach to career choices.
He’s enthusiastic about engaging with fans and is active on social media, providing glimpses of his off-stage life.
Mikami’s career continues to evolve, with recent and upcoming appearances in productions like "Evening -Yuu-" (2023), “Suehara Takuma Kitan-Ko” (2025), and the three-part NICE COMPLEX theatre series.
