In 2007, when this work was aired, he also played Thielia, and these two roles gave Mr. Kamiya his breakthrough.
In addition to these two roles, Mr. Kamiya has had a great influence on his voice acting career, as he has had many opportunities to play the main role in Shaft’s anime and director Shinbo’s works, as well as playing the main role of Kakushi Goto in “Kakushigoto”, the new work by Koji Kumeta, the author of “Zetsubou Sensei”.

A major character in “Durarara! is an informant based in Shinjuku.
He is a slim, handsome boy who is cynical and obsessed with loving people, and will go to any length to observe people, smiling as he watches over the information he obtains.
He is a very popular character in Durarara, and can be said to be one of the most representative characters of the work, along with Shizuo Heiwajima, who divides his popularity between the two, and Celty Sturluson, the face of the work.
Mr. Kamiya has had many opportunities to play handsome men, but many of them have peculiar personalities, such as Yato from “Noragami”.
Incidentally, Shinji Matou, a.k.a. Wakame from “Fate/stay night”, is also popular with girls, so he can be classified as a handsome guy in the setting.

He is the protagonist of “Natsume’s Book of Friends,” which has been adapted into an anime in 2008 and has been in production for over a decade.
He has the ability to see “demons” and often gets into trouble related to demons, but due to his empathetic nature, he is unable to overlook them, and is also unable to cut off people who hate him, and often has a hard time relating to those around him.
Although he has special powers, he is a character with a very human kindness and humility, and belongs to the legitimate category among the characters played by Mr. Kamiya.
Other characters include Otonashi from “Angel Beats!” and Yuu Setoguchi from the “Confession Executive Committee Series”.
No.2：Levi

He is a famous character in “Attack on Titan”, known by the nickname “Heecho”.
While he is one of the strongest characters in the series and is regarded as a hero by the people, he is also a germaphobe, and has a mysterious self-assurance that he has at least been popular.
While he has a sharp tongue and a harsh side, he always shows respect to Commander Erwin and is considerate of his subordinates, and may actually be the most personable character in the series.
Of all the characters that Mr. Kamiya has played, he is the most popular, and is definitely one of his best works.
No.1：Araragi Koyomi（Story Series）
In Mr. Kamiya’s long career, he is probably best known to most anime fans as the main character in the “Monogatari” series.
Bakemonogatari” was broadcasted in 2009 and became the biggest hit in the history of late night anime, and since then, numerous series have been produced over the past 10 years, all of which have been huge hits.
In this work, which is mainly a conversational drama, he has a considerable amount of dialogues, including many monologues, and is without a doubt the number one character among Mr. Kamiya’s characters in terms of total dialogues.
His personality has reached the realm of incoherence, as he can be a hot-headed protagonist or act completely out of character.
However, after playing him for so many years, Mr. Kamiya has developed a “Reki Araragi Circuit” in his mind.
He is a fully established character among both anime fans and actors.
Summary
All of the characters from the first to the tenth place are popular, and in addition to these, the main characters of mega-hit works and characters with outstanding fan popularity are also waiting in the wings, making for a truly solid lineup.
There’s no doubt that these voices are indispensable to the anime world!
I’m sure that new representative works will be born in the future as well.
