The date of {{Ash}}'s birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days exactly prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
The day that {{Ash}} began his journey, according to the anime, was on his 10th birthday, meaning the date of his birth is exactly 10 years prior to the events of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, so following this logic, Ash's birthday would also be April 1, if the passage of time in the world of the anime does indeed correspond to the passage of time in the real world, which is evidenced in ''[[XY027|To Find a Fairy Flower!]]''.
