Attack on Titan Role

Grisha's actions before the story begins, including his choices involving his sons Eren and Zeke, ripple across nearly every season, making the role one of the most narratively pivotal in Tsuchida's career despite his relatively limited screen time.
Career and Notable Roles
Tsuchida also played Saizo, the ranger known as Ninja Blue, in the mid-1990s tokusatsu series Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, and has spent much of his career dubbing Western film actors into Japanese for local audiences. A Kakuranger scene from 1995, in which Saizo is caught off guard by an assassin's line about it being Friday in California, resurfaced decades later and became a viral internet meme in the early 2020s.
