Career

Perspective

After graduating from a trading school, Tsuda entered a theatre group office for auditions. He starred in the 1995 anime series H2.[5] He has lived in poverty to the extent of agonizing over buying even a single piece of bread, but this work became a turning point for him.[6]

Tsuda likes both filming and watching movies. While in university, he joined a film making club. He attended movie theaters in junior high, though he had watched western films until senior high, and focused on artistic films after entering college, fundamentally his interest lies, evidently, in non-genres.[3]

In 2017, Tsuda replaced Keiji Fujiwara for a few roles in the series, including Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love and Attack on Titan.

On February 2, 2019, Tsuda debuted as a film director with the release of Documentertainment AD-LIVE (a term being a portmanteau of documentary and entertainment).[7]

On November 24, 2020, Actor's Short Film was launched by Wowow to commemorate the station's 30th year since the 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 will be chosen, based on the votes of viewers and film critics, to be presented at the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia held in 2021[8] — was announced on Twitter;[9] Tsuda starred in the short film GET SET GO, alongside Ryo Ryusei and Shunsuke Daito.[8][10] (On January 13, 2021, distribution of these five films began.)[11]

Tsuda made a cameo appearance in the morning drama Yell.[12] Since then, he has achieved success on the series, such as Dearest (2021), Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, and Reversal Orchestra (both 2023).[13] In 2023, his photo book recorded second place. It is unusual for a photo book of a voice actor over 50 years old.[14]

Personal life

Tsuda married a woman he encountered around when he was starting out as a stage actor (she is not a celebrity, as Tsuda mentioned it in his Instagram announcement[15]) and has two children. By not officially announcing his marriage, Tsuda thought 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 a weekly magazine (Shūkanshi) and decided to bring these facts to light via his Instagram.[16]
