In the Japanese version of Solo Leveling, the character corresponding to Yoo Jinho is Kenta Morobishi (諸菱賢太), and he is voiced by Genta Nakamura. In the English dub, Yoo Jinho is voiced by Justin Briner. The official Japanese anime site lists Nakamura as the voice of Morobishi Kenta, while Crunchyroll’s English dub announcement names Justin Briner as Yoo Jinho.
Japanese Voice Actor: Genta Nakamura
Date of Birth
May 14, 1995. Ken Production’s official profile lists Genta Nakamura’s birthday as May 14, and his Japanese Wikipedia entry lists his full birth date as May 14, 1995.
About Genta
Genta Nakamura is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with Ken Production. His official profile says he is a graduate of School Duo’s 18th class and has been with Ken Production since April 2018. The same profile highlights him as the lead Hiroto Shinohara in Liar, Liar, the Producer in The Idolmaster Million Live!, and identifies Solo Leveling among his notable anime credits.
For this query, the Japanese answer is: Genta Nakamura voices the Japanese-version counterpart of Yoo Jinho in Solo Leveling. Because the anime’s Japanese adaptation localizes many Korean names, Yoo Jinho appears as Morobishi Kenta / Kenta Morobishi in the Japanese cast list.
Hometown
Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Ken Production lists his birthplace as Yokohama, Kanagawa, and the Japanese Wikipedia entry matches that information.
Career Highlights
Nakamura’s clearest breakout lead is Hiroto Shinohara in Liar, Liar, which his agency profile explicitly lists as a representative starring role. His agency also highlights The Idolmaster Million Live! and Solo Leveling, while public databases connect him to later recognizable credits such as Kaiju No. 8 and Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX.
His Solo Leveling role is especially search-relevant because Yoo Jinho is one of Sung Jinwoo’s closest allies in the story. In the Japanese adaptation, that character is renamed Morobishi Kenta, but it is the same core supporting role that English-speaking viewers know as Yoo Jinho.
Full Current Filmography
The list below reflects documented public credits from the cited sources and may not be exhaustive. Ken Production’s official profile provides a strong list of main works, while the Japanese Wikipedia entry provides a broader dated record of anime credits.

Films and related features
Current public sources I checked do not clearly document a major standalone film credit list for Nakamura in the same way they do for his television work. IMDb does, however, list him among performers known for Shin Kamen Rider (2023) alongside later anime titles.
Dubbing and live-action voice work
Ken Production’s official profile lists several dubbed and foreign-language roles among his representative works: Cha Tae-joo in Juvenile Justice, Jere in The Summer I Turned Pretty, Joo Yeo-jeong in The Glory, and Marcus in Arcane. This is an important part of his current public filmography beyond anime.
Critical Reception
I did not find a strong body of formal English-language criticism focused specifically on Nakamura’s individual performances. What is clear from the current public sources is that his agency prominently foregrounds Liar, Liar, The Idolmaster Million Live!, and Solo Leveling, which suggests these are among the roles most closely associated with his career right now. That is an inference based on how his official profile is presented.
For Solo Leveling, the strongest available evidence is cast positioning rather than review coverage: the official anime site includes him in the core cast as Morobishi Kenta, the Japanese counterpart to Yoo Jinho.

English Voice Actor: Justin Briner
Date of Birth
August 23, 1991. IMDb lists Justin Briner’s birth date as August 23, 1991, and identifies him as being born in Maryland, USA.
About Justin
Justin Briner is an American voice actor best known for English-language anime dubbing. For this query, the key fact is that Justin Briner is the English dub voice actor for Yoo Jinho in Solo Leveling. Crunchyroll’s official English dub cast announcement names him in that role, and Behind The Voice Actors lists him as Yoo Jinho’s English voice in the TV anime.
He is especially well known for roles such as Izuku “Deku” Midoriya in My Hero Academia, and public profiles also associate him with characters including Mikaela Hyakuya in Seraph of the End, Luck Voltia in Black Clover, Shō Kusakabe in Fire Force, and Hanako / Amane Yugi in Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun.
Hometown
A specific hometown is not clearly documented in the sources I checked. What is publicly documented is that Briner was born in Maryland, USA, and that he attended the University of North Texas.
Career Highlights
Briner’s most widely recognized role is Izuku Midoriya in My Hero Academia. IMDb identifies that series as his best-known credit and lists him in the role across a long run of episodes, while broader profile sources consistently describe him as best known for Deku.
For Solo Leveling specifically, Briner is the English voice of Yoo Jinho, one of Sung Jinwoo’s most important allies. That casting is confirmed both by Crunchyroll’s dub announcement and by Behind The Voice Actors’ character-specific page for Yoo Jinho.
Public cast databases also show that Briner voices Yoo Jinho beyond the TV anime. Behind The Voice Actors lists him as the character’s English voice across two titles, including the anime and the game Solo Leveling: ARISE.
Full Current Filmography
The list below reflects documented public credits from the cited sources and may not be exhaustive. Justin Briner has a very large dubbing résumé, and the credits here are limited to roles clearly visible in the current public sources I checked.
Anime television and streaming series
Documented anime dub roles prominently listed in the current public sources include:
Solo Leveling — Yoo Jinho / Jin-ho Yoo. IMDb lists him in the series across 2024–2025 episodes, and Behind The Voice Actors identifies him as the English voice of Yoo Jinho.
My Hero Academia — Izuku “Deku” Midoriya. This is the role most strongly associated with Briner in IMDb and general profile coverage.
Seraph of the End — Mikaela Hyakuya. Public biography and filmography sources consistently list this among his better-known roles.
Heavy Object — Qwenthur Barbotage. This role is specifically highlighted in biography-style coverage of his early career.
Black Clover — Luck Voltia. Public summary pages identify Luck as one of Briner’s notable recurring roles.
Fire Force — Shō Kusakabe. Both broad profile coverage and IMDb’s credits page associate him with the franchise.
Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun — Hanako / Amane Yugi. This role is also repeatedly foregrounded in public profile summaries of his work.
Stars Align — Maki Katsuragi. Public profile sources identify this as one of his named anime roles.
Garo: The Animation — Alfonso San Valiante. Biography-style profile material specifically mentions this as part of his earlier run of notable roles.
Grimgar, Ashes and Illusions — Manato. IMDb lists the series among his best-known credits.
Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Arc — Yukito / Yue / additional voices. IMDb also lists this among his known screen credits.
Recent IMDb-visible anime credits also include roles in Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku, Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, Wind Breaker, and Nyaight of the Living Cat. These are documented on IMDb’s current credits page, but the source does not present them as a single curated “major roles” list.
Anime films
IMDb lists One Piece Film: Red among Briner’s best-known credits, where he is credited as Youreka in the English version.
Video games
Public profile material cited on his current summary page identifies Briner with game work including Ichi in Cibele. That same source also notes he has worked outside television anime dubbing, though the currently retrieved sources provide fewer clearly itemized game credits than anime ones.
Behind The Voice Actors also shows him voicing Yoo Jinho in Solo Leveling: ARISE, which is directly relevant to this character query.
Critical Reception
The strongest public consensus around Briner’s career centers on My Hero Academia, where he is widely framed as the English voice most associated with Deku. That is clear from IMDb and general profile summaries, both of which foreground that role above the others.
For Solo Leveling, the clearest evidence is cast recognition rather than formal review coverage: Crunchyroll officially announced him as Yoo Jinho, and character-specific cast databases continue to list him as the English voice in both the anime and game.
I did not find a strong set of formal critic reviews focused specifically on Briner’s Yoo Jinho performance alone. The most reliable currently visible evidence instead comes from official casting announcements and long-running public cast databases.
