Toshio Hayakawa (born January 7, 1948), also known by his stage name Ichiro Mizuki, is a veteran singer. He first began in 1968, signing on to Columbia Records Japan. Although he started singing anime songs in 1971, his career really took off with the opening of [[Mazinger Z|MAZINGER Z]], which sold over 700,000 copies since its debut ([http://www.mizuki-spirits.com/history/history_english/index.htm according to his website]). He ended his contract with Columbia in 1997 to pursue further opportunities. | |||
After leaving Columbia, two of his more notable accomplishments were finding JAM Project (which consists of other well-regarded singers, including [[Hironobu Kageyama]] and Masamu Ouki, among others), as well as holding the "1000 Song Concert", where he sang 1,000 songs continuously for 24 hours. For Konami he also sang ''Ore wa Impact'' in the first two Nintendo 64 Ganbare Goemon games. (Incidentally, fellow JAM Project member Hironobu Kageyama provided the opening songs of both games, several years before JAM Project was formed.) Mizuki has slowed down a bit in the past decade due to being in his 60's now, but he still occasionally performs live at concerts, as well as still sings. | After leaving Columbia, two of his more notable accomplishments were finding JAM Project (which consists of other well-regarded singers, including [[Hironobu Kageyama]] and Masamu Ouki, among others), as well as holding the "1000 Song Concert", where he sang 1,000 songs continuously for 24 hours.

Although he's only contributed one original song to BEMANI, for the pop'n music アニメロ (Animelo) series he re-sang four of his old songs exclusively for those games. Two of them were later added to the main pop'n music arcade series. | Although he's only contributed one original song to BEMANI, for the pop'n music アニメロ (Animelo) series he re-sang four of his old songs exclusively for those games.
