DJ Shacho (DJ社長), a former member of the Japanese YouTube DJ collective Repezen Foxx, announced on August 8 that he is ending his entertainment career, sharing the news directly with fans on his official X account.
In a brief post, he wrote, “本日をもちまして、活動を終了させていただきます” (“As of today, I will be ending my activities”), according to a report by music news outlet Natalie. He did not give a reason for the decision or share any details about his plans going forward.
The announcement closes a chapter that began years ago when DJ Shacho became one of the recognizable faces of Repezen Foxx, a comedy-and-DJ YouTube act known for high-energy videos and internet-culture content. He left the group in August 2024, and had kept a low public profile in the two years since, according to Natalie’s report.
Repezen Foxx itself has already wound down as a group. The collective announced last year that it would disband before the end of the year, marking the occasion with a farewell “disbandment countdown” live show held on New Year’s Eve. DJ Shacho’s announcement effectively closes out the final loose thread from that era, formalizing an exit from the spotlight that, in practice, had already been underway since he left the group.
Who is DJ Shacho?
DJ Shacho (stage name meaning roughly “DJ President” or “DJ Boss”) rose to prominence as a member of Repezen Foxx, a Japan-based YouTube collective that mixed comedic skits, viral stunts, and DJ performances to build a large following through the 2010s and into the 2020s. He was among the group’s core members before his departure in August 2024, after which he largely stepped back from public entertainment work. With Repezen Foxx having since disbanded following its own farewell live show, DJ Shacho’s August 8 announcement marks what appears to be his formal, final departure from the entertainment industry.
No further statement has been made regarding what DJ Shacho plans to do next.
Author’s Comment
No press conference, no tearful farewell tour — just one line on X, and honestly, that tracks for a guy whose whole career was built on YouTube spontaneity. He’d already been off the radar since leaving Repezen Foxx back in 2024, so this announcement reads less like a dramatic ending and more like him finally saying out loud what had quietly been true for two years. Repezen Foxx fans already got their big send-off with that New Year’s Eve disbandment countdown, so this is more of a coda than a headline event. Still, there’s something almost refreshing about how undramatic it is — no scandal, no controversy, just a guy closing a door he’d stopped walking through a while ago. I just hope he tells us what’s next eventually, because a one-line exit deserves at least a one-line sequel.
