Voice actor Showtaro Morikubo (Persona 4, Bakumatsu Rock, Naruto) announced on his official blog on Friday that he recently entered his name into a family register.

His other anime roles include Naruto's Shikamaru, Hakuōki's Sōji, Love Stage!!'s Kojirō, and Yowamushi Pedal's Yūsuke . Morikubo has also voiced characters and provided theme songs in several installments of the Rockman (Megaman) video game and anime franchise.
