Soshi Tanaka (田中　総史^?, Tanaka Sōshi), credited as Sohshi in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, is a real-life Japanese vocalist who also appears in the Rhythm Heaven series.

As a real-life vocalist, he performed the song WISH Kimi o Matenakute used in Remix 5 of Rhythm Tengoku, and the Japanese version of the song Lonely Storm used in Karate Man and Karate Man 2 in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Karate Man Combos! in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In the English cover of Lonely Storm, the vocals are covered by Clinton Edward Strother.

As a character, he makes an appearance in Remix 5 of Rhythm Tengoku, where he performs the song, and is referred to as Soshi-kun (ソーシくん^?, Sōshi-kun)^[1]. He is depicted in Minna no Rhythm Tengoku Zen Vocal-shu due to performing the Japanese version of Lonely Storm.

Soshi is the first character in the Rhythm Heaven series to bear the likeness of a real-life vocalist. Although there are a few other characters who are also caricatures of the real-life singers they are voiced by, such as Pop Singer and the Dazzles, Soshi is presented more as an insert than a proper character.
- After Soshi's appearance in Rhythm Tengoku, he was approached by guitarist Leo to form the group Watashime Slug, with Soshi being the vocalist. His in-game credits in Remix 5 were updated to include the band's name in the arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku.
- The Rockers' design bear a striking resemblance to Watashime Slug, with the student specifically resembling Soshi.
