  • Many, if not most of Yamaguchi's voice roles are teenagers or even younger boys. He is well-known for his ability to perform high-pitched, "young" voices. This is especially noticeable in BL dramas/games. His characters are also generally straightforward-minded, sometimes simple-minded, humorous and easily excitable but usually "good" characters.

  • Yamaguchi has starred in several projects directly opposite Takehito Koyasu; either as couples or related paired characters, with Yamaguchi playing the younger role. In 12 Kokuki they are the 2 prominent kirins (Enki and Keiki)in the story; in the Sukisho games and drama CD's they are a couple (Ran and Yoru); in the Tokyo Babylon OVA they are respectively Subaru and Seishiro. They also share more couple roles in many BL drama Cd's.
  • Cory Matthews - Boy Meets World (1993) (Japanese dub, beginning with episode 3).
  • Sometimes mistranslated as Katsuhei Yamaguchi or Shohei Yamaguchi.
