About Shogo
Shogo Sakata is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with Aoni Production. For Chainsaw Man fans, Aki Hayakawa is his most search-relevant breakout role, and Aoni’s official profile places Aki prominently among his major anime credits. His profile also highlights other notable roles such as Johnny Joestar in Steel Ball Run: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Usato in The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic, Jun Shirosaki in Love Is Indivisible by Twins, and Algard von Palletia in The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady.
Aki remains one of the performances most closely associated with Sakata. The official Chainsaw Man cast page names him as Aki, and later franchise materials for the Reze Arc film continue to credit him in the role.
Hometown
Aoni Production lists Sakata as being from Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.
Career Highlights
Aki Hayakawa is Sakata’s signature role for international anime audiences. The official Chainsaw Man staff/cast page credits him as Aki, and that role gave him one of the highest-profile parts in a major MAPPA adaptation.
His career has expanded steadily beyond Chainsaw Man. Aoni’s official profile lists headline and major roles including Johnny Joestar in Steel Ball Run: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Felix Arc Ridill in Secrets of the Silent Witch, Minato Kusunoki in The Kusunoki’s Garden of Gods, Usato in The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic, Ranmaru Ai in Fairy Ranmaru, Sensei in Blue Archive The Animation, Jun Shirosaki in Love Is Indivisible by Twins, and Algard in The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady.
His continuing attachment to Aki is also clear in the franchise’s later releases. The official Reze Arc movie cast page still lists him as Aki Hayakawa, showing that he remained the character’s Japanese performer beyond the original TV series.

Critical Reception
Sakata’s public reception around Aki Hayakawa has centered on naturalism. In a Men’s Non-No interview tied to Chainsaw Man, he explained that the production aimed for extremely natural, realistic speech rather than heightened anime-style delivery, and he described Aki as a character whose inner kindness and restrained emotions had to be felt rather than overstated. That framing helps explain why his performance as Aki stands out to viewers: it is presented as controlled, grounded, and intentionally understated.
His Aoni profile also supports the idea that Aki was a turning-point role. The role remains one of the most prominent credits on his official page even as his résumé expands into newer leads and franchise parts, suggesting Chainsaw Man was a major step in raising his visibility.

English Voice Actor: Reagan Murdock
Date of Birth
I did not find a reliable primary or high-confidence public source in this pass that clearly documents Reagan Murdock’s full date of birth. Some fan-maintained databases list September 28, 1994, but I could not verify that to the standard needed here, so I’m not treating it as confirmed.
About Reagan
Reagan Murdock is the English voice actor for Aki Hayakawa in Chainsaw Man. Behind The Voice Actors identifies him as Aki’s English dub voice, and IMDb also lists him as Aki Hayakawa in the English version of both the 2022 TV series and Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc.
His official site describes him as a voice actor and trained opera singer based in Dallas, Texas. Public voice-actor databases also identify Aki Hayakawa, The Sundown Kid, and Shion Yamada Asaemon among the roles he is best known for, which matches the way his profile has risen through anime dubbing in recent years.
Hometown
The clearest publicly documented location I found is Dallas, Texas. Reagan Murdock’s official site says he is living in Dallas, Texas, but I did not find a separately documented birthplace or hometown from a primary source in this pass, so Dallas is the safest verifiable location reference.
Career Highlights
For Chainsaw Man fans, Aki Hayakawa is clearly Murdock’s signature role. Behind The Voice Actors lists him as Aki’s English dub performer, and IMDb shows that he reprised the role for Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, which confirms that he remained attached to Aki beyond the original TV series.
His broader anime profile has grown well beyond Chainsaw Man. Behind The Voice Actors says he is especially known for Aki Hayakawa, The Sundown Kid, and Shion Yamada Asaemon, while IMDb’s recent credits show him in titles such as Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku, A Sign of Affection, and newer 2025–2026 releases.

Critical Reception
Murdock’s public profile is now closely tied to Aki Hayakawa. Behind The Voice Actors ranks Aki among the roles he is best known for, and recent public-facing coverage around Chainsaw Man conventions and fan events continues to foreground him specifically as “the voice of Aki.” That suggests Aki has become the core role in how anime audiences recognize him.
His continued casting as Aki in Reze Arc also matters. That reprise is a strong sign of franchise continuity, and it reinforces that his performance in the dub was not a one-season casting note but an ongoing part of Chainsaw Man’s English-language identity.

I found Reagan Murdock’s official website, but I did not verify any public social accounts to the standard needed to present them here as confirmed official profiles with direct links. For that reason, I’m omitting this section.
