Ortho’s Voice Actor Aoi Shouta

Ortho’s voice actor Aoi Shouta’s industry career began when he applied for a karaoke contest at age 17 that was cancelled due to inclement weather. Event organizers selected him from his audition tape to participate in a musical festival, where he won the grand prize.

After singing a cover of Koda Kumi’s “1000 no Kotoba” (featured in Final Fantasy X-2) at a national competition, he was immediately picked up by an agency. ( Interview Source )

His major debut single Negai Boshi was released on July 26th, 2006 under the name SHOWTA.

In a “Style of the PRINCE” interview Aoi explains that he had always been interested in a career in anime and video games but his agency recommended against it, citing his lack of experience.

Three years into his singing career he quit his agency to pursue a career in the anime/game industry. ( Interview Source )

He has also appeared in over 30 stage musicals, including the role of the scarecrow in 2022’s Wizard of Oz musical adaptation, “Dorothy,” and as Mermaid Princess Marina in 2016’s stage musical “The Smile Mermaid.”

Aoi also has a successful singing career, releasing over 20 original singles and four albums as well as providing vocals for over 180 character songs and headlining nine solo live concerts.
