This comes just a month after the actor celebrated their 15th anniversary portraying the protagonist of the Pokemon anime on his journey to become a Pokemon Master.
And just last week, the U.S. version of Pokemon’s latest movie, Pokémon: Secrets of the Jungle! released on Netflix so it’s been an eventful time for this actor.
My first episode of TV aired 15 years ago today. Pokémon has been with me all my life, and will be a huge part of my life forever. Thank you all for being fans. What a gift.
Pokémon Master Journeys drops tomorrow on Netflix (US)! Enjoy! pic.twitter.com/KbzDbSkQAc
