Hiroshi Kamiya
Voice ActorHiroshi Kamiya, a prominent Japanese voice actor known for roles like Levi Ackerman and Trafalgar Law, took over as the younger incarnation of All For One in My Hero Academia's anime.
My Hero Academia Role
Kamiya joined My Hero Academia's anime in its seventh season as the younger incarnation of All For One, stepping into a role long held by Akio Otsuka once the story's central villain reverted to his physical peak. The casting change lets Kamiya bring a different vocal register to the character during flashback-heavy stretches of the story, contrasting with Otsuka's weathered, present-day version of the villain. It marked a rare instance of the franchise recasting a major antagonist mid-series rather than aging an existing performance.
Career and Notable Roles
Kamiya has voiced an extraordinary range of iconic anime characters, including Levi Ackerman in Attack on Titan, Trafalgar Law in One Piece, Izaya Orihara in Durarara!!, Yato in Noragami, and Koyomi Araragi across the Monogatari franchise, among dozens of other lead and supporting roles. His performances have earned him top honors at the Seiyu Awards, including a Best Lead Actor win, and he co-hosts the long-running radio program Dear Girl: Stories alongside fellow voice actor Daisuke Ono. Decades into his career, he remains one of the most consistently in-demand voices in Japanese animation.
