## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Nobutoshi_Canna&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Nobutoshi Canna started as a child actor[](#cite_note-Ogawa-4). He first started at the age of 3 and played in short films and advertisements[](#cite_note-Miki-5). His agencies were the Japanese Child Actors' Agency (日本児童), then Fukuta Agency (副多事務所)[](#cite_note-Aoni-6). He then stopped acting to focus on his studies and after graduating from high school, he failed his university entrance exams[](#cite_note-Miki-5). Not knowing what to do, a friend gave him flyers about different jobs available and a theatre job caught his eye[](#cite_note-Miki-5). He then finally joined the Seito Company (劇団青杜), since he liked to be a theater actor and this allowed him to be accepted into [Aoni Production](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoni_Production "wikipedia:Aoni Production")[](#cite_note-Aoni-6),[](#cite_note-Miki-5). His first dubbing role was in 1991[](#cite_note-Miki-5).
In his first roles, he used his real name "Nobutoshi Hayashi" (林 延年) and sometimes his nickname "En'nen" (延年), based on a different reading of his first name. He later chose the surname "Kan'na" (神奈) to get a new start, after taking a last name compatibility test. In his first roles, he was known to play "delinquent-like juveniles" who were oftentimes the protagonists, like in Getbackers and Macross 7 and would also play rivals to the protagonists like Knuckles to Sonic the Hedgehog[](#cite_note-Ogawa-4). He would also take on dubbing roles for foreign movies[](#cite_note-Excite-1).
He later became active as a singer in the 2000s, on [Kazunari Tanaka](/wiki/Kazunari_Tanaka "Kazunari Tanaka")'s recommendation[](#cite_note-Miki-5). He is rivals with fellow voice actor [Hikaru Midorikawa](/wiki/Hikaru_Midorikawa "Hikaru Midorikawa"), and has good relations with other voice actors [Hideo Ishikawa](/wiki/index.php?title=Hideo_Ishikawa&action=edit&redlink=1 "Hideo Ishikawa (page does not exist)"), [Ryotaro Okiayu](/wiki/Ryotaro_Okiayu "Ryotaro Okiayu") and [Daisuke Sakaguchi](/wiki/index.php?title=Daisuke_Sakaguchi&action=edit&redlink=1 "Daisuke Sakaguchi (page does not exist)") notably.
