AAAATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!! WHAAA-CHAAA!!!
神谷 明
Pretty 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 and vocal chord damage 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.
Does a lot of jobs as Super Robot heroes, which is probably what makes him so legendary.
