'''''[[CatchPhrase "PAPPY!"]]'''''

[[InconsistentSpelling Also spelt as Souichirou/Sōichirō]] Hoshi.

Sōichirō Hoshi (born May 30, 1972) is another reasonably well-known Japanese voice actor of the 2000s. [[StarMakingRole Shot to fame/infamy]] with his role as Kira Yamato in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED''.

His characters are usually soft-spoken and/or energetic heroes, but when their [[BerserkButton buttons]] get pushed, [[BewareTheNiceOnes you might want to move out of the way]]. He has voiced some HotBlooded characters convincingly, showing off an impressive lung capacity and rendering him unrecognisable. That, or he nowadays can voice some serious-calculating badasses (who may border on being too sexy for their own good) or some VERY unhinged individuals.

Also known for voicing characters who have sex with someone at some point (and one who most definitely [[ChasteHero hasn't.]])

He has lots of relationships with either Creator/AkiraIshida or Creator/TakehitoKoyasu; also to some extent both Creator/KenichiSuzumura and Creator/MaayaSakamoto (''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'', ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners''), and has played several roles with Creator/MasayoKurata as team mates.
