Kamiya voiced Levi in Attack on Titan and Araragi in Monogatari — both characters known for emotional restraint, mirroring his own guardedness here.
The film captures Japan's 'seiyuu boom' dark side: idol-level fame with factory-worker burnout rates. Kamiya's generation pioneered this unsustainable model.
