Yu Hayashi started as a child actor for theatrical company Gekidan Himawari. He voiced in numerous dubbing roles for live-action and animated characters.

The two first met during the production of TV anime Gingitsune, and formed the unit "SCREEN mode". Their unit is named from the desire to impress the listener while changing the "video" (= SCREEN) of the sound born by mixing the vocals of Yuu and the production of Masatomo into various "modes" (= mode).{{cite web|url=https://screenmode.net/profiles|title=Profile|accessdate=August 7, 2019}}
