Katsusuke Kuzui is a Japanese film producer. His wife, Fran Rubel Kuzui, directed the 1992 film version of Buffy. In addition to holding a portion of rights to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer character, Kuzui was also given an executive producer credit for the TV series and its spin-off Angel, despite having no practical role in either production. Kuzui intends to relaunch the Buffy franchise without Joss Whedon, the man who created the original concept.
