Biography
After graduating from Meijigakuin Higashimurayama High School, Itō had the opportunity to help out with a theater company that he knew, and became interested in the "world of performance" for the first time. In 1993, he entered the drama department of Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music, and in the summer of the same year, he appeared on stage for the first time in Little Women. In 1995, he joined Theater Company 21st Century FOX led by Kaneta Kimotsuki, and at the same time, he sought a performance-related career and made his debut as a voice actor. 2001 to April 2009, he belonged to Haikyo, and from May 2009 to 2010, he belonged to Mediarte. He has been a member of Amuleto (formerly ARKRAY) since 2011, and then became a member of Mausu Promotion on June 1, 2016.
On September 11, 2026, it was announced that Itō would take an undetermined hiatus from acting in order to focus on rehabilitation therapy following a brain hemorrhage diagnosis requiring surgery.
