Born in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, Sakurai was the eldest of three siblings born to a family that owned a rice shop. As a child, Sakurai became interested in voice acting after he saw an interview on TV with a voice actor he liked. Sakurai's passion for voice acting was further influenced when a Japanese language teacher in Junior High School told him that he should consider pursuing a serious career in the industry.
In 1996, after graduating from the Yoyogi Animation Academy in Nagoya and the 81 Acting Institute, he made his official debut voice acting in the anime series ''{{W|Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!!|Bakuso Kyodai Let's & Go!!}}''. Even before his official debut, he had already received work voicing in various radio dramas and other projects while he was in coaching school, however, there was a long period when he was unable to find work even after auditioning. After moving on from the coaching school, he became a member of {{W|81 Produce}} under the influence of his admiration for {{W|Toshihiko Seki}}. In 1999, when he was 25 years old, Sakurai was considering quitting the voice acting industry, until he got two recurring roles in the anime ''{{W|Digimon Adventure (1999 TV series)|Digimon Adventure}}'' and ''{{W|Sensual Phrase}}'', and in the same year, he sang his first character song in his first starring movie, ''{{W|Gate Keepers}}''.
When asked what he would've done had he not become a voice actor, Sakurai replied that he probably would've taken over his family's rice shop, which might've also been a good idea.
