Based in Chicago, IL, I am Japanese-American with a background in doing years of theatre, I have an education in journalism with broadcast experience, also years of customer service in luxury hospitality. With a long-held love of movies, animation, and video games, I've appreciated the voiceover work that goes into these things I enjoy and thought to channel my background to try my hand at doing it. I'm happy to have found an outlet at Casting Call Club to put myself out there and look forward to working with you all.

Miller, Phil Hartman, Monica Rial, Troy Baker, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche, and pretty much anyone cast/directed by Andrea Romano.

    Shouganai has a fantastic voice! Highly recommended; even though he was a supporting part of the project, he was very invested. I could not recommend him more, especially speed with which he turns in his lines. I wish great things for him, and hope to work together again soon!

    J.T. delivered exactly what we were looking for and turn it around lightning quick. Great job.

    Shouganai is a delight to work with! He's very easy to communicate with and responds to messages promptly. He's punctual with his lines and always has great performances. He's a dependable, great actor and I think he'd be a great addition to any project.

    Shouganai_Senpai was wonderful to work with. He has great audio quality, and was able to meet all the deadlines given to him. I would love to work with him again in the future, and I highly recommend him for your project!

    Senpai is an incredible voice actor! He came in pretty late to my project as a character Goro, and crushed it! He was amazing. Lots of my friends say Goro was their favorite. The project was a Rocket league anime. Senpai is amazing, and very professional! Please give him some work!

    I'm with Shouganai on a Japanese dub Rocket League anime project. Real solid villain VA right here!

  • @lizzyrenee

    Shouganai perfectly fulfilled the role of a television reporter for my latest project. He submits lines quickly, brings professionalism to the team, and is a skilled voice actor that anyone would be fortunate to have on their cast!

  • @Kokoro_Audio

    Shouganai was cast as Huson in March to the Capital - audiobook dramatisation.


    Shouganai was great at portraying the image of Huson requested and always had a quick turnaround time. being very pleseant to work with, I would happily recommend him for your next project.
