Naya Gorou (November 17, 1929 - March 5, 2013) was a veteran seiyuu from Hakodate, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. His younger brother was voice actor Naya Rokuro. His wife was actress Hino Kachiko. He graduated from the Department of Law at Ritsumeikan University.
Thanks to his deep voice Naya was most known for the roles of Koichi Zenigata (Lupin III), Juzo Okita (Space Battleship Yamato), and Shocker (Kamen Rider).
Naya Gorou had become an icon among fans of the Kamen Rider series and was seen as a legend by many fans of the series.
He was also a popular dubbing actor for overseas films and the Japanese dub voice for such actors as Rick Jason (Hanley in Combat!), Clark Gable, Charlton Heston, and John Wayne.
Naya started out in Lupin III early on, but not as Zenigata. He actually played Goemon Ishikawa in the Cinemascope version of the show pilot. After he had been diagnosed with throat cancer, the number of roles he took over became few and Zenigata's role in the Lupin TV specials was being slightly reduced until Yamadera Kouichi took over in 2011.
Naya passed away on March 5 at 3:00 a.m. due to chronic respiratory failure. He was 83 at the time of his death.
