Kensho Ono
Voice ActorJapanese actor and singer Kensho Ono, born in 1989, voices Oboro Shirakumo in My Hero Academia, a role that sits alongside his long list of anime leads like Kuroko's Basketball's Tetsuya Kuroko and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's Giorno Giovanna.
My Hero Academia Role
Ono voices Oboro Shirakumo, a U.A. High classmate of Shota Aizawa and Hizashi Yamada whose easygoing, joke-cracking energy is introduced in flashbacks during the series' fifth season. Shirakumo's Cloud Quirk lets him generate and ride clouds for fast aerial movement, a power he uses to shield a nursery school from a villain attack before falling debris kills him. The character's death carries major weight in the story, since All For One later repurposed his body to create the villain Kurogiri.
Career and Notable Roles
Ono has built a career around brooding, dramatic leads: he plays Slaine Troyard in Aldnoah.Zero, Tetsuya Kuroko in Kuroko's Basketball, Mikaela Hyakuya in Seraph of the End, Riku Nanase in Idolish7, and Yuya Sakaki in Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V. He also supplies the Japanese dub for Miles Morales across both Spider-Verse films and previously stepped in as the Japanese voice of Harry Potter in his movie franchise, and he appears live as Muromachi Toji in the stage productions of Prince of Tennis.
