Shouhei Komatsu is the voice actor of Ren Kizaki. He is currently affiliated with Ken Production. His hobbies are stuntwork, backflips, dance, swordplay, and singing.
Despite being an active member of the karate and kendo clubs, when Shouhei entered high school, he ended up joining the drama club and gained an interest in performing onstage. After high school, he came to Tokyo and failed his first audition for a theatre company. He was scouted by HIROZ and joined without even knowing it was an action-group, but luckily his martial arts experience helped him quickly become successful in the group. In HIROZ, he was praised for his voice and was often in charge of MCs and announcement work. This caused him to want to focus seriously on voice acting, so he quit HIROZ and began to study to be a voice actor.
Shouhei is a part of the oldest and largest high-IQ society in the world, MENSA. MENSA is a non-profit organization whose main purpose is to connect to people that have IQs that qualify them to be in the top 2% of their countries population. Worldwide, there are over 100,000 members. He joined this "High IQ Society" officially on September 17th, 2019 after talking about how badly he wanted to take the test multiple times at various SideM events. He is the first male voice actor to have this achievement, and the second voice actor overall. Coincidentally, the first voice actor to join MENSA was Kotori Koiwai from Million Live. Both represent IDOLM@STER in being the only MENSA voice actors. The two have joked about competing as the "IDOLM@STER team" in a quiz battle show.
