In 2018, he has played protagonist roles such as Eren Yeager (Attack on Titan Season 3), Meliodas (The Seven Deadly Sins the Movie: Prisoners of the Sky), Todoroki Shoto (My Hero Academia) and many others in both TV and movies. His prominence resulted in comments like “There weren’t any days I didn’t hear his voice” and “I went to various anime events and I always saw Kaji.”
Outside of voice acting, he was also actively involved in book publication, appearances on TV programs and recitals at school festivals to name just a few.
