Describe —
AAAATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!! WHAAA-CHAAA!!!神谷 明KAMIYA AKIRAPretty much the precursor of
Nobuyuki Hiyama and the
Ur Example when it comes to
Hot Blooded characters. Akira Kamiya is one of the earlier and most famous seiyuus, being the favorite by several other veteran seiyuus, and his characters, while mostly
Hot Blooded, range from downright typical heroic, perverted or stoic. He is also one of the causes of the second seiyuu boom. All good things would come to an end, however, as Akira himself has stated that as age caught up with him, he can no longer do all those famous role types again, thus
prefers teaching and tutoring the next generation of seiyuus.
