Biography

Gakuto Kajiwara was born on 28 November 1994[1] in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. He stated that during elementary school, he loved to watch anime series Dragon Ball, which was re-broadcasting during that time. He also stated that it has led him to become absorbed in manga and anime.

In 2017, he landed a main character role as Asta in the popular anime series Black Clover.[2]

On 8 March 2020, he won the Best New Actor Award at the 14th Seiyu Awards.[3] The ceremony was originally scheduled to be held at the Bunka Housou Media Plus Hall before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results were instead announced on the Chou! A&G radio program.[4]
