Suzumura Kenichi sets up own agency

Seiyuu Suzumura Kenichi, who left his talent agency Arts Vision in April, has set up his own talent management agency INTENTION. There were rumours that he would be joining AXLONE, but it seems Suzumura has bigger ambitions than that.

The official website for his new agency opened on 1st May with introductions by Suzumura and his long-time manager, Kuwahara Atsushi. Both will serve as joint acting directors of INTENTION. Suzumura writes that approaching the 18th year of his work, he is delighted to challenge himself to something new. As for the meaning behind the name, he states that everything the agency does, will be done with precise intention. 

Seiyuu Suzumura Kenichi no longer with Arts Vision?

Seiyuu Suzumura Kenichi (D.Gray Man's Lavi, Daily Lives of High School Boys's Yoshitake) is rumoured to have left his talent agency, Arts Vision and gone freelance. His name is no longer listed in their roster. His Biscuit Cafe Blog under Morinaga which started in October 2008 was last updated by him on 27th March and by Morinaga staff on 30th March. The staff thanked everyone for their support and offered a limited-time download for a screensaver program developed in collaboration with Suzumura. The blog will then close down at the end of the download period, 27th April.
