Rodrigo Rossi, also known as Rod Rossi, is a Brazilian singer. After beginning his career in heavy metal bands Snake Eyes[1] and Thorn,[2] he was invited to sing the Brazilian Portuguese version of the opening of Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, which led him to shift his career focus to the production of anime songs in Brazil.[3][4]

Since then, he has been touring all over Brazil singing Brazilian Portuguese versions of other anime to which he was invited, such as Dragon Ball Kai and Saint Seiya Omega.[5][6]

In 2014, Rossi partnered with Edu Falaschi, Ricardo Cruz and Larissa Tassi to create Cavaleiros in Concert ("saints in concert").[7] They are all known for performing Brazil's opening and ending themes to several Saint Seiya animes, and the project consisted of a series of concerts where they all sang their songs and paid homage to Saint Seiya.[8]

In 2016, Rossi took part in the V.A. Animes x Tokusatsu project, in which many artists banded together to play anime songs. Rossi, with Japanese singer Yama-B (former vocalist of Galneryus), recorded a version of Hironobu Kageyama's Soldier Dream, the second opening of Saint Seiya.[9] The duo took the opportunity to record another track for the album Yama-B & Friends called When I Say Goodbye.[10][11]

In 2017, Rossi returned to his heavy metal roots with the album Rec/All, produced by Renato Tribuzy (who also played in it), and special participations by Kiko Loureiro, Roy Z, Edu Ardanuy, Davis Ramay, Marcelo Barbosa, Felipe Andreoli, Marcelo Moreira, Pedro Tinello and Alessandro Del Vecchio.[12][13][14]

In the same year, Rossi co-founded Danger3[15] with Larissa Tassi and Ricardo Cruz. The group is dedicated to the production of anime songs and have released four singles with songs inspired by manga published in Brazil,[16] such as Akira and Your Name.[17] The trio also recorded the Brazilian Portuguese versions for the opening and ending themes of Saint Seiya: Soul of Gold,[18] and the song Space Runners, Go, from the Space Runners game.[19]

In 2020, Rossi released ANNO: X, a compilation of all anime songs he was officially invited for.[20][21]

He also started a career as a voice actor, having worked on the Brazilian adaptation of animes like Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope), Kanojo mo Kanojo (Girlfriend, Girlfriend)[22] and Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha (The Misfit of Demon King Academy).
