Hiroshi Kamiya was born on January 28, 1975, in Chiba, Japan, and he started out as a voice actor in the anime industry in the early 1990s. With many iconic performances to choose from, here are our favorite anime characters Hiroshi Kamiya has brought to life in his decade-spanning career.
Best Hiroshi Kamiya anime characters
Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan)
Levi Ackerman might be the most famous and popular anime character Hiroshi Kamiya has ever played. No one does the gravelly and deep voice of the short but lovable squad leader of the Scout Regiment as well as him. From the moment Levi showed up in the anime, he has been a trend and meme in the anime industry, and in no small part due to Kamiya.
Trafalgar Law (One Piece)
One Piece has many beloved pirates throughout its series, and Kamiya plays one of the more infamous ones: Trafalgar Law. The leader of the Heart Pirates plays a supporting but integral role in the anime series as a member of the “Worst Generation.” His role has grown in importance as the series goes on during the recent Dressrosa and Wano Country Arcs.
Yuzuru Otonashi (Angel Beats!)
Hiroshi Kamiya played the lead character in this stunning, emotional original anime from P.A. Works. Yuzuru Otonashi awakens in the afterlife with no idea of how he died. He is a memorable stand-in for the viewer as the series explores the tragedy and often humorous parts of life. Otonashi is an anchor for all of the characters in the series.
Yato (Noragami)
Hiroshi Kamiya played the goofy but charming god Yato in this impactful series. Yato has such a great personality, which makes the viewer root for him. He starts out as a lowly god with no followers, and fans get to see his connections with others and his personal growth.
Koyomi Araragi (Monogatari Series)
The long-running Monogatari series had one person at the center of it all: Koyomi Araragi. The weird, quirky, and often offensive lead protagonist of this strangely comedic supernatural series works because of Hiroshi Kamiya in the lead role. Kamiya makes Araragi more likable than he should be. As such, there’s a reason this series went on for as long as it has across multiple seasons since 2009.
Now that we’ve listed the roles we think are his most memorable, we want to hear what you think. Which Hiroshi Kamiya anime characters are your personal favorites?
