Voice actor Tsuda Kenjiro announced his marriage on Instagram… Not because he wanted to.

Voice actor Tsuda Kenjiro, best known for his voice acting role as Inui Sadaharu (Prince of Tennis) and Kaiba Seto, the antagonist in “Yu-Gi-Oh!”, announced his marriage on Instagram.

But unlike more happier posts about marriage, this announcement was prompted due to a magazine publishing an article of his marriage.

Tsuda said that he first met his wife when he began as a stage actor and the two had a child and now they have two children.

At the beginning of their marriage, they would receive letters that threatened the safety of their lives, so he felt it would be best not to announce his marriage and similar to other actors and voice actors, he liked the idea of not sharing his private life, until something personal was published recently.

Tsuda said, “I think the article may have affected some people and I am also frustrated by the people who were involved in writing it, so I had no choice but to announce it”.

Tsuda apologized that he had to announce his marriage in this way and he will continue to be focused and deliver a good performance.

ご報告 本日発売の週刊誌に私の結婚に関する記事が出ましたことでお騒がせし誠に申し訳ありません。 妻とは私が舞台役者として駆け出しの頃に舞台の世界で出会い、交際期間を経て結婚、暫くして子供が出来ました。 妻は一般の人で、現在子供が2人います。 結婚当初、生活の安全を脅かされる文書が頻繁に届く事があり、公表しない方が安全を守れると思いました。 また、私が好きな俳優さんや声優さんは私生活が見えない魅力がある方が多く、自分もそういう表現者になりたいという思いもあった為今まで公表せずにいました。 今回の記事により、影響を受けてしまう方がいらっしゃるかもしれない、そして、仕事の関係者様にもご迷惑をお掛けしてしまうと思い、このタイミングで公表させて頂きました。 いつも応援して下さっている皆様、この様な形での公表になって申し訳ありません。 これからも真摯に良い芝居、良い作品をお届け出来る様に精進して参りますのでどうぞ宜しくお願い致します。 2020年7月7日 津田健次郎
