Biography[edit]

Kenichirou Matsuda, a native of Saitama Prefecture, was born on 22 January 1978.[1][2] As an elementary school student, he originally wanted to be a voice actor like his two older sisters did, but stopped watching anime because he thought it was something for kids to watch, so he instead wanted to be a baseball player or a police officer.[3] During his early adulthood, he attended a legal vocational school with the goal of becoming a civil servant, but dropped out after not being able to keep up with a higher class he was moved into.[3] Enrolled into the Japan Narration Acting Institute [ja],[1][3] he was rejected at the third audition and considered quitting after three years, but instead continued, and the following year he was accepted into Arts Vision.[3]
