{{nihongo|'''Shota Taguchi'''|田口 翔大|Taguchi Shōta|born 16 June 2004}}<ref name="profile"/> is a Japanese actor.

==Biography==
Taguchi was born in [Saitama Prefecture](/source/Saitama_Prefecture).<ref name="profile"/> His mother was a big fan of [Masaharu Fukuyama](/source/Masaharu_Fukuyama). When Taguchi was four years old, while he was not aware, his mother applied and recruited for [Amuse](/source/Amuse%2C_Inc.)'s Amuse Kids (a child department) in which the agency belonged to Fukuyama and became affiliated.<ref name="crea web"/>

His first main role on TV is Kotaro Sakuma/Koguma Sky Blue on ''[Uchu Sentai Kyuranger](/source/Uchu_Sentai_Kyuranger) in 2017''.<ref name="toei">{{cite web |url=https://www.toei.co.jp/tv/kyuranger/story/1209615_2686.html |title=宇宙戦隊キュウレンジャー |language=ja |publisher=[Toei](/source/Toei_Company) |accessdate=28 Apr 2017}}</ref>

On March 31, 2020, due to the Taguchi's contract expiration, he left the agency.

==Personal life==
Because he was closely watching ''[Kamen Rider Den-O](/source/Kamen_Rider_Den-O)'', Taguchi liked [Takeru Satoh](/source/Takeru_Satoh) and belonged to Amuse.<ref name="crea web"/>

Director [Yukihiko Tsutsumi](/source/Yukihiko_Tsutsumi) commented that "when I said 'Do it like this,' I will do as it is, so I thought 'perhaps it is over 30 years old.'"<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/entame/entertainment/449069/ |title=未来のイケメン俳優・田口翔大に江口洋介ぞっこん |language=ja |publisher=[Tokyo Sports](/source/Tokyo_Sports) |date=20 Sep 2015 |accessdate=28 Apr 2017}}</ref>

In [Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger](/source/Uchu_Sentai_Kyuranger), he doesn't know that he got the hero role because he ignored the audition requirements, and thought he was just a guest on his first appearance. The staff cast of this work also highly appreciate Taguchi's acting skills and attitude towards work.
