As 2025 kicks off, the biggest news in Japan's ACG (Anime, Comics, Games) scene has to be the surprising marriage announcement from popular voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya to 33-year-old actress Rina Aizawa. This unexpected pairing, coupled with Kamiya finally tying the knot at 49, has garnered widespread support and congratulations.
Among the well-wishers, Tetsu Inada, famously known as the voice of Endeavor in "My Hero Academia," posted a congratulatory message on X that quickly went viral. He shared a photo of Kamiya's new wife, Rina Aizawa's calendar, quipping: "Looks like I'll be staring at Hiroshi Kamiya's wife every single day this year!" He added that he was completely shocked by the news, never having imagined the two would get married.
Beyond his voice acting career, Tetsu Inada is also a professional wrestler. His extensive list of roles includes Endeavor from "My Hero Academia," Sajin Komamura from "BLEACH," Gantetsusai Tamiya from "Hell's Paradise," Coupler from "Brave Bang Bravern!", Nappa and Sasami from the "Dragon Ball" anime, and even Lu Bu and Huang Gai from the "Dynasty Warriors" series. Fans affectionately call him the 'muscle-bound character specialist'.
In fact, Tetsu Inada has lent his voice to several tokusatsu series, including 2008's "Engine Sentai Go-Onger," where he previously worked with Aizawa.
After Kamiya and Aizawa announced their marriage, Inada took to his X account, posting: "Guess I'll be staring at Hiroshi Kamiya's wife every single day this year... LOL" accompanied by a laughing-crying emoji, as he showed off Rina Aizawa's calendar. He further explained: "I bought this calendar before I heard about their marriage. I make it a habit to buy calendars from actors who came from the Sentai series every year, so I never expected to find myself in this situation this year." Inada expressed his utter surprise at the marriage of his acquaintances.
Netizens playfully commented: "Staring at someone else's wife every day... is this some kind of training?" and "What kind of friendship is this, anyway?!"
Clearly, even those within the industry were stunned by Hiroshi Kamiya and Rina Aizawa's marriage announcement. Kamiya truly knows how to keep a secret, pulling this off without even his close friends knowing! As for Inada, who's now stuck looking at someone else's wife's calendar daily... maybe it's time for a little self-reflection, eh?
