Kenjiro Tsuda

Tsuda lived in Jakarta until he was seven years old. He attended Meiji University, where he majored in theater studies in the department of literature. At the En • Theater Research Institute, he took and passed a non-degree course, being enthusiastic about theater work. == Career ==

After graduating from a trading school, Tsuda entered a theatre group office for auditions. He starred in the 1995 anime series H2. He had lived in poverty to the extent of agonizing over buying even a single piece of bread, but the work became a turning point for him. Tsuda likes both filming and watching movies. While in university, he joined a film making club. He attended movie theaters in junior high and watched western films until senior high, focusing on artistic films after entering college. However, his interest lies in non-genre films. On November 24, 2020, ''Actor's Short Film'' was launched by Wowow to commemorate the station's thirtieth year since opening. Five actors, facing the same conditions, such as budget and time, would individually direct short films up to 25 minutes long each. One of them would be chosen, based on the votes of viewers and film critics, to be presented at the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia held in 2021 — which was announced on Twitter; Tsuda starred in the short film GET SET GO, alongside Ryo Ryusei and Shunsuke Daito. Distribution of the films began on January 13, 2021. He was announced to voice Figarland Shamrock for One Piece, it was announced in the promotional video for One Piece Volume 113. Tsuda made a cameo appearance in the morning drama Yell. Since then, he has achieved success on series such as Dearest (2021) and Ōoku: The Inner Chambers and Reversal Orchestra, both in 2023. In 2023, his photo book recorded second place, unusual for a photo book of a voice actor over fifty years old. == Personal life ==

Tsuda married a woman he encountered around when he was starting out as a stage actor, who he mentioned in his Instagram announcement to not be a celebrity, and they have two children. By not officially announcing his marriage, Tsuda thought that he could protect his family. Another reason for this approach is the large appeal that his favourite actors have carried as figures who have not displayed their private lives, and he had thoughts of wanting to become an expressive person like that. He never made his marriage public; however, in July 2020, he received notice that a news story about his marriage had been published in one section of the weekly magazine Shūkanshi and decided to bring these facts to light via his Instagram. ==Filmography==
