Koyasu holds the distinction of being Japan's most prolific seiyuu—as of December 2008, he'd racked up voice acting roles in 365 anime series. He's known for his deep, smooth voice, which made him perfect for villain roles and pretty-boy characters, though in recent years he's been branching out into livelier, funnier parts in shows like Yakitate!! Japan, Bobobo-Bo-Bobobo, and Zoku Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei. The mangaka of Hana-Kimi actually designed one of her characters specifically with Koyasu's voice in mind.

Beyond voice acting, Koyasu is the creator behind the Weiß Kreuz franchise—he was inspired by the classic series Sure Death when developing it—and he's written the manga Weiß Side B. He founded T's Factory in 1998, a seiyuu company where he now serves as head after leaving Production Baobab. He's also part of the seiyuu group Weiss alongside Shinichiro Miki, Tomokazu Seki, and Yuuki Hiro, all fellow Weiss Kreuz voice actors.

When working on adult content, Koyasu typically uses the pseudonym Hayato Jumonji. On the side, he narrates promotional and safety videos for the airline StarFlyer.
