Soichiro Hoshi

Soichiro Hoshi (保志 総一朗, Hoshi Souichirou, born May 30, 1972 in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima) is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with Arts Vision. Active since 1993, he has been awarded twice in the Anime Grand Prix for his roles. His known nicknames are "Hoshii", "Sou-niichan", and "Pappii".

Hoshi was motivated to take up voice acting after watching Kappei Yamaguchi's performance in Kiki's Delivery Service. To that end, he enrolled in Tokyo Announce Gakuin and Nihon Narration Acting Institute for acting courses. He is close friends with fellow voice actor Akira Sasanuma.

When it comes to voice overs, Hoshi generally lends his vocals to timid or upbeat characters. He is also good at pulling off convincingly hot-blooded performances. Some of his roles include Mohammad Alai Jr. in Baki, Rygart Arrow in Broken Blade, and Makoto Isshiki in Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!.

He and Shigeru Nakahara shared a cake to celebrate their one hundredth appearance at Neoromance live events.
