Never heard that one; I've always heard that it hurts his throat too much. Anyway, I'll probably buy this game now; Kenshiro sealed the deal for me. It still needs Kinnikuman and Ring ni Kakero, though I wonder if the latter will actually make it in. This makes me wonder again why they're using the anime colors for Seiya when this is supposed to be a manga game. Hell, they even made Raoh white and blonde like he is in the manga. |

Nah, that's just some bogus rumor some guy started on TV Tropes. Apparently Kamiya is now one of, if not the highest paid seiyu in Japan. Most anime/game productions these days cannot afford the fees he demands. |

And then he showed up in some cheap ass Hokuto no Ken spin off last year. |

Which was co-produced by North Star Pictures, i.e. the company that's involved in essentially every Fist of the North Star production of the past decade. Kamiya's inclusion was likely possible because he knew some of the people involved & was willing to take a slight pay cut. Also, he didn't voice Kenshiro in that show. |

Wait, so he said that shit every time he was in a booth? I always thought they'd loop it once in a while. |

If doing the ATATATATATA's is too much for Kamiya, then they can just have him do the regular speaking parts for Kenshiro and have someone else dub in the ATATATATA's instead.
Besides, if Kinnikuman does get included later on, it would be sacrilege if Kamiya wasn't doing his voice. He managed to capture the rough goofiness of Suguru Kinniku down pat! As for this game, I'm officially gonna see if I can pit Jonathan Joestar against Kenshiro. It would be quite a match.

I am glad that Kenshirou and Raoh are in the game. My wish is to have Akira Kamiya at least one last time reprise his role (sadly Kenji Utsumi passed away so that can't be for Raoh). But Katsuyuki and Fumihiko are the best sucessors to the originals to me from the previous seiyuu that played them. and I'll be fine I they return to voice the characters in the game.
Well although Kamiya San is my number one seiyuu but having him replaced from his roles as Kenshirou and Ryoma Negre was acceptable to me but as long as he remains Saeba Ryo and Roy Fokker

There's a rather humorous video--attached below--where he explains that he added "owatta!" ("it's over!") onto the end of every "atatata" sequence--almost as if to express relief that the horror of having to scream out those sounds was over. Or rather, to signal that he'd could stand screaming "atatata" no more. I'm thinking he's not altogether upset about not voicing Kenshiro, these days--I do think he doesn't want to do the atatatas. Skip to 2:58 and, damn, just look at him go. Ten years ago this year, mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JBg6rWDIl0 |

Someone somewhere else pointed out that the "Anison Edition" will have 21 songs that correspond to the series that have TV anime, which is 16. The rest of the series either had OVAs or didn't have anime at all.
So, following that logic, there are still five more series with TV anime theme songs to announce, along with at least five playable characters. If I had to guess: Kinnikuman Dr. Slump Yu-Gi-Oh! Shaman King Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo People have pointed out there may be hangups with YGO!, but they got Kenshiro in there. |

Yeah, basically he's reached a point in his career when he's made enough money and only needs to work when the money is right or he really loves the project.
As for Hokuto no Ken, he's done these Hokuto projects recently: Hokuto Shinken Denshousha no Michi (2008, Nintendo DS) DD Hokuto no Ken (2013, TV anime) Gekiuchi Max (2013, Social Game) Certain Sammy Pachinko-Slot machines |

Even though he did the atatata in the video, Kamiya's pitch was noticeably lower than how he did it in the original Hokuto no Ken anime. He really can't go any higher lest he wants to risk permanent damage to his vocals. |
