The photo book "Kenjiro Tsuda PHOTOBOOK since1995" celebrating Kenjiro Tsuda's 30th anniversary as a voice actor was released today, March 14th. To commemorate this, a press conference was held today at Tsutaya Bookstore SHARE LOUNGE in Daikanyama, Tokyo.
Kenjiro Tsuda attended the press conference to commemorate the release of "Kenjiro Tsuda PHOTOBOOK since1995"
Tsuda has appeared in various works such as the TV anime "Jujutsu Kaisen", "Chainsaw Man", and "Golden Kamuy". His activities are not limited to voice acting. In 2025, he appeared in a number of popular works such as the TV drama series ``Anpan'', the taiga drama ``Berabou ~ Tsutajuei Hana no Yumebanashi ~'', and the Sunday theater ``The Royal Family'', and is currently active in a wide range of fields, including one of the leads in the drama ``Ramune Monkey''. "Kenjiro Tsuda PHOTOBOOK since 1995" explores Tsuda's trajectory from 1995, when he started his career as a voice actor, to the present.
Tsuda, who attended the press conference, commented, ``Three years ago, I released a photo book, and now I am releasing a photo book...I am also over 50 years old, so I am grateful.'' ``I had photos taken of both my flat look and my sharp look.I haven't done much of this before, but I'm also showing off some of my personal belongings.I received comments from people I've had connections with through my past activities, and I also had a long interview, so it was a good opportunity to look back on my past.'' When asked by the MC about the photo of him wearing a white suit, which he says is his favorite, he replies, ``I chose it based on my intuition. I thought it looked nice... I'm sorry it's so fluffy (lol),'' and then shyly added, ``It's embarrassing to promote my own photo myself.''
When asked about his visit to Jakarta, where he spent his childhood, to take a photo book, he said with deep emotion, "The changes in Jakarta have been amazing...!" ``I visited for the first time in over 40 years, and there were many skyscrapers that weren't there before, and it had developed tremendously.However, the lively atmosphere of the market and riverside hadn't changed, so I was relieved.'' Meanwhile, in Tokyo, the photo was taken near Ochanomizu and Meidaimae, where he spent his student days. In Ochanomizu, he visited the university he attended and took various photos while visiting places that had changed and places that had remained the same. As for Meidaimae, he said with a smile, ``It's gotten more fashionable.It's what you call it, but in the past it was much dirtier, more like a student town (lol).''
Also, when asked about the project ``Tsudaken's True Face,'' in which manga artists, voice actors, and actors with whom he has connections talk about their memories with Tsuda, Tsuda looked happy and said, ``Even though I was supposed to be extremely busy, so many people commented.'' ``Satoru Noda, the creator of ``Golden Kamuy,'' also drew the pictures. I'm grateful, I'm grateful. I'm really grateful that each of them wrote careful comments.''
As for his future goals, he commented, ``I'm having fun working as a voice actor, so I want to continue working carefully.'' He also touched on the fact that his work as an actor continues to increase, and expressed his aspirations, saying, ``Because I'm both a voice actor and an actor, I've been able to get feedback on both jobs.I still sometimes feel intimidated by the depth of acting, but I hope I can work on it properly and carefully and reach my ideal realm of acting.'' He added with a wry smile, ``I've been saying I'd make a live-action movie, but I haven't made much progress yet.'' He added, ``I want to do my best to shoot a live-action movie this year.''
In addition to numerous photos, the photobook includes a public exhibition of personal items, ``Tsudaken's True Face'' in which manga artists, voice actors, and actors talk about Tsuda, and an interview with approximately 20,000 characters. A deluxe edition will be released on March 28th, which includes a ``Tsuda Bunko'' containing 100 questions and 100 answers interviews, a desk calendar, audio bonuses, and more.
