Yanami was born on August 30, 1931 (Showa 6), and is from Tokyo. He has been active since the early days of TV animation such as 'Astro Boy' and ' Ookami Shounen Ken'.
In the anime 'Cyborg 009 ' developed from the movie released in 1966, he was in charge of the role of Dr. Gilmore, the scientist who created the 00 number cyborgs. This work has been made into an anime movie and TV animation multiple times, and Mr. Yanami is the first movie version (released in 1966), the second movie version (released in 1967), and the first TV animation (released in 1967). Appeared in (started broadcasting in 1968). After that, in the second TV animation that started broadcasting in 1979, the role of Dr. Gilmore was handed over to Mr. Kosei Tomita and appeared in other roles, but in the third movie version 'Cyborg 009 Super Galaxy Legend' released in 1980. I am in charge of Dr. Gilmore again.
Also, in 'Star of the Giants' broadcasted from 1968, he played the role of Chuta Ban, a partner of the main character, Hyuma Matsui.
One of the roles he has been in charge of for a long time is the bad trio that appeared in the 'Time Bokan' series that started in 1975. The bad trio is a different character for each work in the series, but it has the form of a female boss played by Noriko Ohara, a counselor character played by Yanami, and a mysterious character played by Kazuya Tatekabe, and is a 'Time Bokan' groggy. I was in charge of the roles, 'Yatterman' Boyacky, 'Zenderman' Tobokke, 'Time Patrol Corps Otasukeman' Sekovich, 'Yattodetaman' Kokematsu, 'Gyakuten! He also appeared in the three evil positions in the new series that was produced after the series ended with 'Itadakiman' broadcast in 1983. He also plays Boyacky in the remake version of 'Yatterman,' which began broadcasting in 2008.
Boyacky is known for his calls such as 'Minna-san of high school girls all over the country' and 'Pochitto na' that pushes a button to operate the mechanism, but this 'Pochitto na' is Mr. Yanami's. Takao Koyama, who worked on the series composition, admits that it was born from ad lib.
that's right. 'Pochitto na' is an ad lib of Mr. Yanami. The studio was a big hit. You were a genius.

The bad trio was replaced by Eri Kitamura, Hiroaki Hirata, and Kenta Miyake in the 2015 broadcast 'Yatterman Night'. Kazuya Tatekabe, who was the original three evil member , died in June 2015 .
Another work that I often heard Mr. Yanami's voice is the 'Dragon Ball' series, which was in charge of the narration that tells the synopsis. As the role in the work, I was in charge of Bulma's father, Dr. Brief, and King Kai, who loves puns.
In September 2015, Mr. Yanami announced that he would be closed for medical treatment.
