He spent his childhood in the fields of his hometown<ref name="A"/>. He was rather mediocre in mathematics in elementary school, but excelled at Japanese, especially at reading out loud, for which he was praised by his teachers<ref name="A"/>. He later completed his middle school and high school studies in Tsuyama city, but felt that the other high school students looked "sophisticated", making him feel inferior to them<ref name="A"/>. Following the completion of his studies, he moved to Tokyo, with no particular aim in getting a career<ref name="A"/>.
		+
		+	While he was working part-time as a server, he talked to a customer who was a producer for a dubbing company, and he realized that this was what he wanted to be<ref>https://www.superdramatv.com/alacarte/seiyuu/detail9.html</ref>. He thus studied acting at [[wikipedia:ja:川路夏子\|Natsuko Kawaji]]'s school and later perfected his singing and on-stage performance<ref>山寺宏一「第3回大塚芳忠&堀内賢雄」『山寺宏一のだから声優やめられない! 声優・山寺宏一と30人の声の役者たち』主婦の友社、2000年12月1日、34-43頁。ISBN 4-07-229270-2。</ref>,<ref name="B">「重戦機エルガイム」『ジ・アニメ』1984年3月号、近代映画社、1984年2月、81頁。</ref>.

Starting his career, he first received dubbing roles for western movies, before landing his first major dubbing role in 1984<ref name="B"/>. Falling in love with his first role, he decided to further his career in voice-acting.

		+	In 2017, he notably received the prize for best actor in a supporting role at the 11th Seiyuu Awards<ref>https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1489817579</ref>. While he was originally credited under his real name "Yoshitada", he heard many times people mistakenly calling him "Hochu", another reading for the kanji that make up his first name, and decided to adopt it as a stage name<ref>『日本タレント名鑑（2000年版）』VIPタイムズ社、2000年、78頁。</ref>.
