Another veteran seiyuu, in the same caliber of Akira Kamiya, who pops up occasionally in voice acting. Hiroya is most famous for his role as Kouji Kabuto from Mazinger Z, though he does not reprise his role in Shin Mazinger. His voice range is incredible that in one second, he is a sophisticated old/middle-aged man, in another second he's using a kid-friendly voice. Of course, in any situations, most of them has a chance to be Hot-Blooded.

He is also the official dub voice of Jackie Chan. And as seen in his role as Lei Wulong, he is incredibly fluent in English, as in "I can't believe this guy is actually Japanese" fluent.

Notable roles by Hiroya Ishimaru:

Kouji Kabuto in Mazinger Z and Mazinkaiser. Replaced by Kenji Akabane in Shin Mazinger
Kotaro Hazuki in Dancougar
Lei Wulong in Tekken (Who is also a Captain Ersatz for Jackie Chan) (Note: He's Lei's ENGLISH VA.)
Tatsuya Aoi in Shinkon Gattai Godannar
Ultraman Taro in Ultraman Mebius (The original actor had a scheduling conflict)
Apachai Hopachai in Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple
Edge/Edward Geraldine in Final Fantasy IV DS
Sharkie Chan in Juken Sentai Gekiranger (who is of course, also based on Jackie Chan)
Lionel Hutz in the Japanese dub of The Simpsons
Mr. Tokita in G Senjou no Maou
Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime in the Japanese dubs of The Transformers and Transformers the Movie, as well as Transformers Headmasters
A different Rodimus Prime in the Japanese dub of Transformers Animated
