*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. Naya was recently diagnosed with Throat cancer, thus why his voice is in bad shape. This also led to Zenigata's role in the recent TV specials being slightly reduced.
