Shoto’s Past Life
Shoxto was previously Seto (Justin), who also happened to be an active singer. He created his Twitter account in April 2015; Shoto was using his original Twitter account, which changed midway from @kohakselo to @shoxto.
Even the oldest video posted on his YouTube was from July 30, 2016, and it has now been removed. It was a debut in collaboration with Hikaru; it was called (Brother-Sister Act) Ver Hikaru x Seto.
Seto started his activities as a streamer on Twitch for the first time on December 7, 2019, by posting a test strum. He also streamed League of Legends that day for about 4-5 hours, and around nine people watched it.
He continued streaming, and the number of viewers increased to about 100 a year later, in December 2020. Later, in October 2021, when he started working as a VTuber, the number of viewers rose to 1,000. When his collaboration with Nijisanji began, this number exceeded 5000; on other days, it was 10,000.
Since both Seto and Shoto have incredible voices and are amazing singers, we can conclude that both are the same person. Another reason we believe Seto is Shoto now is because the Twitter account Shoto is using was previously named “kohakuseto.” and was used by Seto.
Based on the above references and proof. We come to the conclusion that Shoto was, in fact, Justin / Seto in his past life. Shoto’s age was revealed on his Twitter account; he is 24 years old and was born on July 4, 1999.
