Kosei Noda is a twelve-year-old vocal performer who began his musical theater training at the age of five. After appearing in various stage productions as a young child, he moved to Bangkok in the summer of 2025 to attend an international school. This move was a key step in his goal to one day perform on Broadway, allowing him to immerse himself in an English-speaking environment.
Kosei’s professional experience is highlighted by his role as “Young Kyuta” (Lead) in The Boy and the Beast (2024–2025) with the Shiki Theatre Company, Japan’s largest theatre organization. He has also performed a TV commercial song and was featured as a vocal soloist on a TV program for NHK, Japan’s national public broadcaster. Currently, he enjoys being an active member of his school’s choir, band, and musical programs.
In addition to his professional work, Kosei has earned recognition in several major competitions. He won the 1st Prize and Jury Special Award at the Basel International Junior Music Competition in 2026 and the Absolute 1st Prize at the Special Venue Music Awards in 2025. Most recently, he was awarded 2nd Prize in the adult category at the International Vocal Competition Tokyo, which is known as the most competitive vocal contest in Japan.
