While Aoki is primarily recognized for his extensive work in live-action film and television dramas, he has also taken on several roles as a voice actor. One of his earliest voice credits is in the animated film Star Driver the Movie, where he played the character Pocket Samekh. In the science fiction action film Transformers: Age of Extinction, Aoki provided the voice for the minor character Baseball Boy 1.
