5	Hiroya Ishimaru (born February 12, 1941 as Shinji Ishide), another veteran voice actor, in the same caliber of Creator/AkiraKamiya, who pops up occasionally in voice acting. Hiroya is most famous for his role as Kouji Kabuto from ''Anime/MazingerZ'', though he does not reprise his role in ''Anime/ShinMazinger''. His voice range is incredible that in one second, he is a sophisticated old/middle-aged man, in another second he's using a kid-friendly voice. Of course, in any situations, most of them has a chance to be HotBlooded.

7	He is also the official dub voice of Creator/JackieChan. And as seen in his role as [[Franchise/{{Tekken}} Lei Wulong]], he is incredibly fluent in English, as in "[[SugarWiki/SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage I can't believe this guy is actually Japanese]]" fluent.
