“Shout” in Japanese is 掛け声 (kakegoe).

Describes a voice called out to encourage people or coordinate their actions.

彼は合図の掛け声を聞くと、すぐに笛を吹きました。kare wa ai zu no ka ke goe o ki ku to su gu ni fue o fu ki ma shi ta

He blew his whistle as soon as he heard the call.

In English writing about kabuki, 掛け声 (kakegoe) can refer to audience calls made at set moments to support performers, so the word is more specific than a general shout.
