Notes[]

  • Ishida originally considered a live-action acting career after high school in lieu of studying at a university, but instead he relented after his family convinced him to study, and eventually completed a degree in drama.
  • However, throughout his career he kept his personal life away from the limelight.
  • One of the most prolific and versatile actors in the business, he once even worked on BL drama CDs.
