The Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin anime is ending soon, concluding with it a whole part of anime history as AoT stays one of the most popular shows ever. You especially notice that when protagonist Eren Yaeger celebrates his birthday on March 30, as messages from fans flood social media, including special reaction from Eren’s voice actor Yuki Kaji.
You’ve definitely already heard the name Yuki Kaji before if you have a keen interest in Attack on Titan. He’s one of the most popular seiyuu, Japanese voice actors, and is quite active on Twitter as well. Most if not all seiyuu are big anime fans like us, and it’s often the reason why they went down this path in the first place, so obviously Yuki Kaji is celebrating Eren’s birthday like us.
Attack on Titan – Eren’s Japanese Voice Actor Yuki Kaji Celebrates his Birthday on Twitter
A few hours after we entered March 30, Yuki Kaji tweeted a special happy birthday message for Eren. Yuki Kaji mentioned how the end of March is also the end of the Japanese school year. So if Eren was a normal kid, he’d end up being younger than the others in his class, and yet would have definitely stood out, fighting and becoming stronger than anyone else. Yuki Kaji explained this is one of the what-if scenario discussions he once had with Marina Inoue, the seiyuu voicing Armin, when at the studio.
エレン、誕生日おめでとう🧣
「3月30日生まれは、学年でいうと最後の誕生日。
だから、幼い頃は周りの子たちと比べて体が小さかったかもしれない。
でもそんな中、持ち前の負けん気で努力して、戦って、強くなっていったんだろうね。」…なんて、たまたま現場であったアルミンの声の人と話したよ🕊
