Timeline

Showtaro Morikubo (森久保 祥太郎) is a Japanese voice actor and singer who has voiced characters in anime, drama CDs, and video games.

He was formerly affiliated with I'm Enterprise, Sigma Seven and VIMS.

His most notable roles were Shikamaru Nara from Naruto, Souji Okita in the Hakuouki series, X in the Mega Man X series and Yosuke Hanamura from Persona 4.

1992

Morikubo graduated from Third Junior & Senior High School of Nihon University in 1992, and dropped out of Tama Art University.

Before becoming a full-fledged voice actor, he worked at a talent agency, and was recruited by people in the voice acting industry who saw a performance by the Onigiri Skippers, a theater troupe he founded with his seniors from the lab party he attended in elementary school.

During his first dubbing session, he made sounds out of flipping pages on the script because he had no experience as a voice actor at that time.

The script for the first episode had four pages of long dialogues from the first page, and the sound director said that he would never have let him do the role if he had known he would talk so much.

After working at Sigma Seven, Morikubo moved to VIMS, an office affiliated with Arts Vision.

"The Answer" appeared as the album's only single, paired with the B-side "Happy Monday Man".
