Kenji Tsukamoto

Born in Fukushima, Japan, Kenji moved to America as a child where his family relocated frequently across the country. Having been immersed in various cultures both in the United States and Japan during his formative years, Kenji offers a distinct point of view in his storytelling. As a third culture kid, Kenji found a kindred spirit in the world renowned climber Ashima Shiraishi, who became the subject of his first feature film, Ashima (Mountainfilm 2024).
