That’s so neat! I’m excited to hear his voice since I’m a big fan of Kenji and Hirofumi.

That's pretty awesome, it reminds me in the japanese version of Metal Gear Solid IV where Snake was played by Akio Ohtsuka, as he always does, while Big Boss was voiced by his father, the late Chikao Ohtsuka. It's cool to hear seiyuu that are related working together.
Speaking of other languages, this is pretty common in Mexican dubs, since voice acting is almost a family business in most cases, for example in DBZ the son of Goku's voice actor made a cameo voicing a small child in the last episode of the Buu Saga and many years later his son went on to voice Wills in Battle of the Gods and Super.[/quote]

The blood of seiyuu run deep in the Nojima family.
