Hiro Shimono

Shimono has anchored several long-running anime leads beyond his Attack on Titan role, including Keima Katsuragi in The World God Only Knows and Dabi in My Hero Academia. He also voices Nai in Karneval, Hanzo Urushihara in The Devil Is a Part-Timer!, Rindou Haitani in Tokyo Revengers, and video game roles like Rex in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Ryunosuke Naruhodo in The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures.

Shimono voices Connie Springer, a member of the 104th Training Corps known for his shaved head and comic timing, across the Japanese run of Attack on Titan. Connie provides much of the show's early comic relief before the story pushes him through the same escalating stakes as the rest of his cadet class.

Hiro Shimono voices Zenitsu Agatsuma in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. It's one of several long-running lead roles in his career, alongside his part as Connie Springer in Attack on Titan.

Hiro Shimono is a Japanese performer represented by I'm Enterprise who works as both a voice actor and singer. He has one of the busiest resumes in modern anime, spanning leads across multiple long-running franchises.

Shimono was born in 1980 and has been active in the industry since 2001. His more than two decades of work include lead roles across anime, video games, and music.
