** Regarding English dubs, only a couple of the animated films, including ''Anime/CityHunterShinjukuPrivateEyes'' had got dubs, while the TV series was released in the U.S. sub-only.
** Latin America got worse on this. The only things from the franchise released in that region are the 1993 movie starring Creator/JackieChan and the ''.357 Magnum'' and ''Million Dollar Conspiracy'' films, and the latter two cases, those films were released sub-only. No other other part of the franchise, including the manga, were released there, and took until 2024, due to the Japanese live-action movie, to Latin American viewers to see anything regarding ''City Hunter'' in their language, let alone with a Latin American Spanish dub.

* CreatorFavourite: Creator/AkiraKamiya has acknowledged that Ryo Saeba is his favourite role to play. He went and collected one of the earliest DVD releases of the anime, and provided a dub role for the French film (not Ryo, but a cameo).

* RelationshipVoiceActor: By either sheer coincidence and also by the fact the whole franchise took some inspirations from it, many members of the Japanese voice cast, including the Japanese dubs of foreign-made remakes, had worked in the Japanese dubs of the ''Franchise/JamesBond'' franchise, and the same goes vice-versa, especially on regards of the titular Bond. Mainly, Creator/AkiraKamiya (Ryo) voiced Creator/PierceBrosnan's James Bond, Creator/HideyukiTanaka (Hideyuki Makimura) and Creator/KoichiYamadera (Ryo from ''Film/CityHunterTheCupidsPerfume'') both voiced the Creator/TimothyDalton's incarnation of the same character in some DuelingDubs, while Creator/KenjiUtsumi (who voiced a minor one-shot character in the TV series) voiced Creator/SeanConnery's Bond.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame:
** '''Sayaka''' is the daughter of a Yakuzaboss, not a HumongousMecha ''[[Anime/MazingerZ pilot]]'', two blue-haired {{Magical Girl}}s from ''Anime/OkusamaWaMahouShoujo'' or ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' or a ''[[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc SHSL-Idol]]''.
** Kasumi Asou the {{Kaitou}} from this series must not be confused with Kasumi Asou [[HotForStudent the teacher]] from ''[[VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial Tokimeki Memorial 2]]''; although when written in Japanese, ''City Hunter'' Kasumi's first name is written in Hiragana instead of the ''Tokimemo'' one's, written with Kanji.

** While the French dub cast has been mostly consistent throughout the years, with the exception of Ryo who has always been voiced by Vincent Ropion in France, pretty much everyone was darrin'd at least once in the French dub. Miki and Umibozu were darrin'd the most out of anyone (the same applied for ''Anime/CityHunterShinjukuPrivateEyes'').

* InMemoriam: Due to [[Manga/CatsEye the Kisugi sisters]] guest appearance in ''Manga/CityHunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes'', the movie's end credits feature a dedication in memory of Rui Kisugi's original voice actress, Creator/ToshikoFujita who was unable to reprise her role as she was very ill during the movie's production and died before it was released. [[note]] Creator/KeikoToda ended up taking over for Rui in addition to reprising her role as Hitomi [[/note]]

Miki and Umibozu were darrin'd the most out of anyone and this is true for ''Shinjuku Private Eyes'' as well as they where they're the odd ones out as opposed to everyone else as they managed to get Ryo, Kaori, Saeko and the [[Manga/CatsEye Kisugi sisters]] French voice actors to reprise their roles. What makes this interesting is, Ai Kisugi's French voice actor, Annabelle Roux was one of Miki's replacement VA in the 2nd season of ''City Hunter''.
** English wise, the dub for ''Shinjuku Private Eyes'' features a completely new cast compared to ADV's dubs of the previous films. An attempt was made at looking to bring the old cast back [[https://twitter.com/GWOtaku/status/1155529629639294980 but they had all since moved on and were unavailable]] (such as Kaori's actress, Pamela Ribon, who had since become a screenwriter and co-wrote WesternAnimation/{{Moana}} and WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet, this was also necessary in the case of Umibozu's VA in those dubs, Lou Perryman who was murdered at his home in 2009).
** The Italian dub has mostly been consistent with the cast, though it wasn't completely safe from this, the entire cast was replaced in the third and fourth seasons, but they ended up bringing back the original Italian dub cast for the movies and specials. The Italian dub of ''Shinjuku Private Eyes'' once again reunites the original Italian dub voices for Ryo, Kaori, Saeko and Umibozu, but all other returning characters (including Miki and [[Manga/CatsEye the Kisugi sisters]]) are voiced by different actors.
