Kenichi Suzumura (鈴村 健一, Suzumura Kenichi, born September 12, 1974 in Niigata) is a Japanese voice actor formerly affiliated with Arts Vision. He founded his own agency INTENTION. His wife is Maaya Sakamoto who he married in 2011.
When he was young, Suzumura suffered from asthma and a weak constitution, forcing him to spend most of his days at a hospital. He initially aspired to become a Japanese cuisine chef, but was encouraged by a friend to try something related to the entertainment industry. This led him to enroll in Yoyogi Animation Academy and Nihon Narration Acting Institute.
He launched his singing career in 1993 and eventually took up voice acting 4 years later. His closest friend within the field is Takahiro Sakurai. Some of his interests include dogs, cooking, and video games. He is also a fan of the tokusatsu genre, often providing his voice to titles like Kamen Rider.
As a voice actor, Suzumura is well-known by fans for his young male roles. His smooth voice makes him ideal for suave characters in love simulation titles. A few of his roles are Momotaro Mikoshiba in Free! Eternal Summer, Obanai Iguro in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Ash Roller in Accel World.
