When he was in junior high school, Koyasu loved movies so much that he would watch them every day without going to school, aspiring to become a film actor himself. A scene in ''{{W|Adieu Galaxy Express 999}}'' sparked his interest in voice acting. He entered a training school after graduating from high school.<ref>Anime V Magazine - July 1997 Issue, p. 41</ref>
 
He worked at {{W|Production Baobab}} for ten years from 1988 to 1998 before starting his own talent agency named [https://tsf-official.com/ T's☆Factory ] in 1998. Along with Koyasu, voice actor {{W|Michiru Satou}}, and Takehito Koyasu's son, Koki Koyasu, are the only members of the agency.
 
In March 2021, Koyasu won the Supporting Actor Award at the 15th {{W|Seiyu Awards}}.<ref>[https://www.seiyuawards.jp/winning/winning_15/ 15th Seiyu Awards Winners]</ref>

When Koyasu first read the manga as a child, he thought it was scary because of the [[Stone Mask]] and gore. After reading it as an adult, he had a completely different impression. He started wondering what [[Hirohiko Araki|Araki]] was thinking, such as whether Araki wanted to draw a manga that even adults could enjoy despite it being a shonen manga. When reading ''[[Phantom Blood]]'', Koyasu read it from Dio's point of view instead of [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]]'s. He also mentions that he barely read the script and would read the manga instead.
 
Koyasu mentioned that recording during [[Episode 3]] felt a bit unusual for him, as he experienced an illusion which he never felt in his 26 years of voicing. He actually felt as if the studio was engulfed in flames and that he had become Dio fighting [[Kazuyuki Okitsu]] who had become Jonathan. He felt a rush of adrenaline during these scenes, mentioning that he had a runner's high.<ref>[[JoJo raDIOJOJOraDIO]] Episode 11</ref>
