Because he was one of the founders of Coamix with [[Tetsuo Hara]] and [[wikipedia:Tsukasa Hojo|Tsukasa Hojo]], it seems even more strange that he is not involved. He ''has'' reprised the role of Ryō Saeba for the ''City Hunter'' AU spinoff ''Angel Heart (''as well as Kinnikuman in recent media from 2008 onwards) however. It is said that Kamiya is one of the highest paid voice actors in Japan and that his absence in recent projects may be purely due to budgetary reasons. With Kamiya's participation in the 2013 ''[[DD Hokuto no Ken]]'' anime (this time cast as [[Ryuken]]), any internet rumors of a falling-out with Tetsuo Hara would seem to be proven untrue. | ||
