What's After the Movie

Rikiya Koyama

Rikiya Koyama, born on December 18, 1963 in Kyoto, Japan, is a distinguished Japanese actor, voice actor, and narrator whose career spans more than three decades. From his early days in the Ritsumeikan Art Theatre Company to his formal training at Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music, Koyama cultivated a powerful stage presence that later translated into a prolific voice‑over career. He first appeared on television in the Kamen Rider Black RX series (1989), performing his own stunts and action sequences, and quickly became a staple in tokusatsu productions, later returning to the franchise in Kamen Rider Decade only to decline due to age considerations. His transition to voice acting began with an appearance on ER and a focus on dubbing, where he earned the title of official Japanese dub‑over artist for Hollywood stars such as George Clooney, Kiefer Sutherland, Dwayne Johnson and Ma Dong‑seok. Notable anime roles include Yamato in Naruto Shippuden, Ging Freecss in Hunter × Hunter, and the towering villain Coyote Starrk in Bleach, showcasing his versatility from heroic figures to imposing antagonists. Koyama’s filmography extends to video games, where his performances as Taiga Saejima in the Yakuza series and Basch in Final Fantasy XII have earned critical praise. Besides screen work, he is an acclaimed stage actor, earning the Outstanding Performance Award at the 9th Yomiuri Theater Awards for his turn as Antonio in The Merchant of Venice, and receiving the Kei Tomiyama Memorial Award at the 5th Seiyu Awards. His deep, resonant voice, combined with a disciplined theatrical foundation, continues to make him a cherished figure in Japanese entertainment, influencing both domestic and international audiences. Koyama remains active in diverse media, from narration in documentary series to guest appearances on popular anime, and his enduring presence in the industry reflects a rare blend of talent, professionalism, and adaptability that has solidified his reputation as one of Japan’s most respected voice artists.
