He succeeded Barry Meyer as CEO in March 2013, and as chairman in December 2013, having previously served as president of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Upon assuming the role of CEO, Tsujihara became the first Asian American to run a major Hollywood studio.[1] He resigned in March 2019, following a casting couch scandal. Early lifeKevin Tsujihara was born to Shizuo and Miyeko "Mickey" Tsujihara and grew up in Petaluma, California. He and his family owned Empire Egg Company, a company that distributed eggs to markets across the San Francisco Bay Area. Tsujihara graduated from the University of Southern California and earned an MBA degree from Stanford University. After graduating from Stanford, he launched QuickTax Inc., a tax preparation website.[1][2] CareerTsujihara joined Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. in 1994 as the director of special projects finance, primarily dealing with the company's interest in Six Flags Theme Parks, which had been acquired by Warner Bros.' parent company Time Warner (now WarnerMedia) in 1990. While employed at Warner Bros., he also focused on business development and online content. In 2005, Tsujihara was given the position of president of the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment unit, which focuses on the home video, online distribution and video games for the company.[1][3][4] In January 2013, Tsujihara was named the new chief executive officer of Warner Bros. after the announcement that Barry Meyer would retire from the position on March 1, 2013. This made him the first Asian American to be the CEO of a major Hollywood studio and the fifth leader in the 90-year history of Warner Bros.[4][1] On March 6, 2019, several entertainment industry publications reported that WarnerMedia is investigating allegations that Tsujihara may have promised auditions and/or acting jobs to British actress Charlotte Kirk in return for sex.[5][6] On March 8, 2019 Tsujihara released a memo apologizing to his colleagues at WarnerMedia for his behavior.[7] Tsujihara resigned on March 18, 2019. A Warner Bros. spokesperson said, "It is in the best interest of WarnerMedia, Warner Bros., our employees and our partners for Kevin to step down as chairman and CEO of Warner Bros."[8] Personal lifeTsujihara and his wife, Sandy, have two children.[9] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20130129/MCT/130129508/1350?p=all&tc=pgall |archive-url=https://archive.is/20130216173000/http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20130129/MCT/130129508/1350?p=all&tc=pgall |dead-url=yes |archive-date=February 16, 2013 |title=Petaluma native Kevin Tsujihara named CEO of Warner Bros. studio |date=January 29, 2013 |publisher=The Press Democrat |accessdate=January 29, 2013 }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ct-warner-chief-box-20130129,0,3453915.story|title=Warner Bros.' new CEO, Kevin Tsujihara, at a glance|date=January 29, 2013|publisher=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=January 29, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/28/tsujihara-to-succeed-meyer-as-head-of-warner-brothers/|author=Barnes, Brooks|title=Tsujihara to Succeed Meyer as Head of Warner Brothers|date=January 28, 2013|publisher=The New York Times|accessdate=January 29, 2013}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://movies.yahoo.com/news/kevin-tsujihara-ill-continue-warner-bros-legacy-tough-000733645.html|author=Waxman, Sharon|authorlink=Sharon Waxman|title=Kevin Tsujihara: I'll Continue Warner Bros.
