My Take
Rikiya Koyama is one of those performers whose voice alone commands attention. Kyoto-born and Ritsumeikan-educated, trained in stage acting at Haiyuza, he brings genuine theatrical grounding to roles like Kogoro Mouri in Detective Conan, Yamato in Naruto and Ging Freecss in Hunter x Hunter. His 2011 Kei Tomiyama Award feels well earned. What I value most is his range: he moves from comedic to gravely serious without ever sounding like he is straining, the mark of a real craftsman rather than a mere voice. Veterans like him, equally at home on stage and in the booth, are the ones I trust most.
