Tatsuhisa Suzuki

Tatsuhisa Suzuki (鈴木 達央 Suzuki Tatsuhisa) is a Japanese singer and voice actor from Okazaki, Aichi, Japan, though was born in Ichikawa, Chiba, Japan. He is affiliated with I'm Enterprise and Lantis. He is a graduate from Japan Narration and Acting School. He is also the vocalist for OLDCODEX.

Overview
He voices Makoto Tachibana in the Free! series and performs the opening themes Rage on, Dried Up Youthful Fame, and Heading to Over as a vocalist for OLDCODEX, as well as the ending themes SPLASH FREE, FUTURE FISH, and GOLD EVOLUTION, along with other voice actors of the main characters, Nobunaga Shimazaki, Mamoru Miyano, Tsubasa Yonaga and Daisuke Hirakawa, together known as STYLE FIVE.

On August 4, 2021, Suzuki announced that he would be taking an indefinite hiatus from all acting and singing activities due to health concerns. In response, KyoAni have postponed the release of OLDCODEX's theme CD for Free!–the Final Stroke– and assured fans that Suzuki will not be replaced as the voice of Makoto for the movie/s, as he had been replaced (voluntarily) in roles for several other series.

Following the statement about his hiatus it was widely speculated that at least one of the reasons behind it was due to issues in his personal life following an article by an infamous tabloid magazine which reported Suzuki had participated in an extramarital affair. While Suzuki did not address a variety of other rumors concerning his hiatus he did eventually acknowledge the tabloid article and on August 30, 2021, released a handwritten letter apologizing for his actions and carelessness.
