Voice Actor Kenjiro Tsuda Joins Golden Kamuy Live-Action Film as Narrator

The official website for the live-action film adaptation of Golden Kamuy , based on Satoru Noda's adventure manga, announced today on January 18 that voice actor Kenjiro Tsuda serves as the film's narrator. Tsuda has voiced Hyakunosuke Ogata in the Golden Kamuy anime series since 2018. The site writes, "At the preview event held the other day, Tsuda's voice could be heard as soon as the film started, then surprise reverberated throughout the venue." "To be honest, I was very hesitant about participating. I had played the role of Hyakunosuke Ogata in the anime version, and I wondered if I would interfere with the worldview of the live-action version by narrating the story. Would I confuse the audience? I thought about many things." Tsuda said. "At the same time, however, I thought that Golden Kamuy has a power and scale that blows away such small things. Yes, this is a work that mixes seriousness and comedy, good and evil, and runs with intense energy. That's why it's okay. It should swallow everything and shine with intense light. And above all, I love Golden Kamuy . I am very honored to have participated as a narrator in this film. Please don't think about the details and come to the theater. I am sure you will enjoy it." The highly-anticipated adaptation directed by Shigeaki Kubo ( HiGH&LOW THE MOVIE series) will open in Japan tomorrow, January 19, 2024.
