Voice actor Jonah Scott, known for roles including Legoshi in BEASTARS and Kokushibo in Demon Slayer, discussed his dual career as VTuber Alpha Aniki in a VTuber NewsDrop interview. He said VTubing gives him a creative outlet he cannot channel into voice acting and lets him own original content like music.
Jonah Scott, the voice of Legoshi in BEASTARS and Kokushibo in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle, also streams as VTuber Alpha Aniki. In an interview with VTuber NewsDrop, Scott said VTubing gives him an outlet for creativity he cannot legally or practically channel into voice acting. He noted that he does not own characters like Kokushibo, but with Alpha he can produce original music-including a 10-song album with his band Midnight Howl-without legal gray areas. Scott was also invited to WeebCon 2026 as Alpha, and said being a known VTuber at conventions makes fan interactions more accessible, though he warned about safety concerns for VTubers who are not anonymous.
