Kenjiro Tsuda was born June 11, 1971. He replaced Keiji Fujiwara in the latest Hajime no Ippo game Hajime no Ippo: Fighting Souls since Keiji, who voiced Kimura in all three seasons passed away. Kenjiro voices Kimura in the game during story scenarios in match events and will be Kimura's voice actor when/if the anime continues. I can't find a video of his voice in the game without the Youtuber talking over it, but you can check his voice through his other characters. My favorite is Jigen from Boruto, which is one of the recent ones.

That laugh is so priceless and how calls his attacks with that aggressive line delivery is just great.
Kenjiro Tsuda's voice has changed during and after the series because he sounded like Nobuo Tobita to this his signature deep and raspy voice.
I understand three languages currently: English, Japanese, and American Sign Language (ASL). And, I am a huge fan of music, Kenjiro Tsuda, translating, and these three languages.
So! I got a crazy idea about a year ago to start signing/covering my favorite songs IN sign language!
Here's the playlist β as of currently, I've covered/interpreted four of Tsuda's songs and the experience and adrenaline I get each time I start learning signs for a song is just incredible *^^*

Please enjoy if you do check these videos out! ASL is quickly becoming another big language passion of mine, and these song projects help me better my ability in signing :)
So!
I spent part of the summer working on my (now seemingly traditional) Kenjiro Tsuda translation project (last summer β 2020 β was when I translated the biographies and appearance tables of his Wikipedia article; this summer was a movie he produced, wrote, and starred in!).
It's called PROJECT "925" and is a very strange, very weird film with deeply insightful messages about life, death, and sanity, among other things. Revolving around a kidnapping mystery, this is a drama film that I highly, HIGHLY recommend!!

Please note:
- I did NOT do this for money at ALL.
- Actually, the only way you can access the movie is through this link, because the video is UNLISTED.
- I set out doing this because there are other Tsuda fans out there who, like me, either don't live in a Region-2 country (Japanese DVDs = Region 2), or are otherwise unable to acquire the film. Which I think is a shame, because this is like a diamond in the rough, so to speak ^^
**Important**
- Turn on the subtitles: I translated this film into English and subtitled it myself.
- Read the YouTube video description: I have translated the characters' songs on my blog, PseudoPen611, as well as the film's storyline, character details, and warning, so relevant links to these posts are included in the description!
- Please watch to the very end (end credits). I have provided extra details about the film, Tsuda, and the song names in the subtitles while the end credits roll.
Above all, please enjoy, because this was a truly thrilling experience for me as a big fan of Kenjiro Tsuda, films, Japanese, music, and translation!! <(_ _)>
