What? We're describing Shoutaro Morikubo here? [[{{Naruto}} How troublesome.]]

Although he is best known as the voice of snarky teen genius Shikamaru Nara from ''{{Naruto}}'', Shoutarou Morikubo is also the voice actor to find if you want {{Jerkass}} characters. Yes, jerkasses. But at least those with a hidden [[{{JerkWithAHeartOfGold}} heart of gold]].

Outside of voice acting, he is a singer and has released a few albums. [[{{Bishonen}} His looks]] have also won him a large number of female fans. Once, he was married to YuuAsakawa. However, Shoutarou "{{Jerkass}}" Morikubo and Yuu Asakawa turned out to be incompatible, and the latter announced that the marriage had to end in 2009, and it did.

Has [[{{RelationshipVoiceActor}} relationships in voice acting]] with NobutoshiCanna and TakahiroSakurai.
