[edit] Person/Career
- Debuted as a Yeti in the short feature film of the original Kaiketsu Zorori back in 1989, Hiyama's best work is in the majorities such as Shiro Amada (Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team), Yuushirou Gowa (Gasaraki), Hiei (YuYu Hakusho), and he would star twice in the Brave series as Maito Senpuuji (The Brave Express Might Gaine) and Gai Shishioh (King of Braves GaoGaiGar), Ikkaku Madarame (Bleach), and Link (Legend of Zelda).[1]
- Because of a quality of voice, Hiyama has a good reputation for playing many hot-blooded heroes like Shiro Armada of Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team and Teppei Takamiya of B't X, and calm characters like Yuushiro Gowa of Gasaraki and Hiei of Yuyu Hakusho. However, Hiyama is capable of voicing a wide range of characters from comedic (Harunobu of Genshiken, Space Detective 556 of Keroro, Kōyū Ri of Saiunkoku Monogatari, Mr. 3 of One Piece) to deranged or rowdy (Murata Azrael of Gundam SEED, Rampage, Ikkaku). Furthermore, he played tender boys like William of Marmalade Boy.
- By fans, Hiyama is nicknamed Yuusha-ou (勇者王, The King of Braves) because of his two protagonist roles of Maito and Gai from the above mentioned Brave series.
