Kenichi Suzumura to Feature in "灯の守り人"

The unique project "灯の守り人" (Light Keeper) is set to showcase its 61st installment, centered around the fascinating history and culture of Japanese lighthouses. On November 14, 2025, participants can catch the debut of a captivating voice drama featuring the popular voice actor Kenichi Suzumura as the guardian of Shirasu Lighthouse located in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture. The event will be broadcasted live on Niconico starting at 10 PM and followed by a YouTube premiere at 11 PM.

In the latest episode, Suzumura, known for his roles in major franchises like Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY and Demon Slayer, brings life to the character of the lighthouse keeper. The character is depicted as calm yet determined, responsible for watching over the treacherous waters of the Hibiki-Nada Sea, often referred to as the “most dangerous sea in the West.”

Discovering Shirasu Lighthouse

Shirasu Lighthouse, characterized by its distinctive black and white stripes, has been a sentinel since its lighting in September 1873, towering at 17 meters with a light visible from approximately 13 kilometers away. It stands watch over the local shipping routes that have historically posed significant challenges for sailors, making it an essential part of maritime history.

During the event, audiences will witness a lively exchange between Suzumura and fellow voice actor Sōnosuke Hatabu, who will portray the reporter Kanoya Nagaoka. The dynamic storytelling promises to unveil not only the tales of the lighthouse but also the intriguing memories and aspirations of its guardian.
