Kenji Nojima

Kenji Nojima (野島 健児, Nojima Kenji, born March 16, 1976) is a Japanese voice actor who is affiliated with Aoni Production. He was born in Suginami, Tokyo and lived his teenage years in Ōita, Kyushu. After spending his early adulthood dedicated to agriculture, he decided to become an actor like his father (Akio) and older brother (Hirofumi) and graduated his agency's educational program, Aoni Jyuku. During his career, Nojima married fellow voice actor, Chie Sawaguchi, and sired a daughter and son. His family and his in-laws are all involved in the entertainment business, which allows Nojima and his wife to occasionally venture into the music industry. One of his private projects includes the musical unit, Trust, formed with Toshimune Suzuki. In his free time, Nojima prefers to wander to various places by himself.

Nojima made his professional debut as a voice actor in the mid nineties and has lent his voice to various young male characters. A few of his voice roles include Jo Katsuragi from Innocent Venus, Fumito Nanahara in BLOOD-C, and Fox Mccloud's Japanese voice in Super Smash Bros. series. When performing characters in an adaptation of a famous series, Nojima states he tries to read the original source material to better emphasize with them. If he doesn't, he explains, Nojima feels his performances will fall flat of the viewers' expectations.

On the 10th Anniversary site for the Dynasty Warriors series, Nojima felt nostalgic for the ten years that has passed and expressed his wish to continue playing Lu Xun for many years to come.
