Tsuda lived in Jakarta^[2] until he was seven years old. He is a graduate of Meiji University, where he majored in theater studies in the department of literature;^[2] originally, he had considered wanting to make films as a movie director, when he also had an interest in the field of performing.^[3] At the En • Theater Research Institute, he took and passed a non-degree course, being enthusiastic about theater work.^[4]

After his graduation from a trading school, Tsuda had belonged to a theatre group office. In so doing, there was talk of auditions, and Tsuda made his debut in voice acting^[5] as Atsushi Noda in the 1995 animated television series "H2." Since then, Tsuda's work has centered around voice acting, as he's worked in theater, television dramas, and movie appearances, among others; furthermore, he has been active at many levels, including as a narrator and radio personality, in television programs, commercials, and the like.

Tsuda likes both filming and watching movies. While at university, he joined a film making club. He began attending movie theaters in junior high; though he had watched old Western movies until senior high and focused on artistic films after entering college, fundamentally his interest lies, evidently, in non-genres.^[3]

In 2017, when Keiji Fujiwara was recovering from illness, Tsuda took charge as a substitute actor for a few roles (those of Isami Enomoto in "Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love," Hannes in "Attack on Titan").

On February 2, 2019, Tsuda debuted as a film director with his release of "Documentertainment AD-LIVE" (the term being a portmanteau of "documentary" and "entertainment").^[6]

On November 24, 2020, "Actor's Short Film" — a project launched by WOWOW to commemorate the station's 30th year since its opening: Five actors (facing the same conditions, such as budget and time) would individually direct short films up to 25 minutes long each; one of those five films will be chosen, based on the votes of viewers and film critics, to be presented at the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia held in 2021^[7] — was announced on Twitter;^[8] Tsuda took part with his own short film, "GET SET GO," which cast actors Ryou Ryuusei and Shunsuke Daitou.^[7] As the film's director and screenwriter, Tsuda also made an appearance in the film as an actor.^[9] On January 13, 2021, distribution of these five films began.^[10]

An unknown actor gaining popularity through voice acting and achieving success, such as reaching second place in photo book sales, is garnering attention as a late-bloomer breakthrough in Japan.^[11]

Tsuda married a woman he encountered around when he was starting out as a stage actor (she is not a celebrity, as Tsuda mentioned it in his Instagram announcement^[12]) and has two children. By not officially announcing his marriage, Tsuda thought, he could protect his family's safety; another reason for this approach is the large appeal that Tsuda's favorite actors have carried as figures who have not displayed their private lives — he, too, had thoughts of wanting to become an expressive person like that, so he hadn't made his getting married public. However, in July 2020, he received notice that a news story about his marriage had been published in one section of a weekly magazine (Shūkanshi) and decided to bring these facts to light via his Instagram.^[13]
