Asanuma started voice acting for anime in 2006 usually voicing minor roles. He started gaining popularity in 2009 after voicing Junpei Kousaka from ''Manga/NyanKoi'' and later Takatoshi Tsuda in 2010's ''Manga/SeitokaiYakuindomo''. After these two roles he would start appearing in more leading anime roles or as important secondary characters.

6	His initial popular roles often had him typecast as the UnluckyEverydude but as of recently he has been cast as a variety of different characters. He's one of the few seiyuu that doesn't have a typecast having been cast as characters ranging from teenagers to adults with deep voices. Currently most anime fans recognize him as Izayoi Sakamaki, the lead character of ''Literature/ProblemChildrenAreComingFromAnotherWorldArentThey''.
