==Trivia==
 
*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.
 
 
*In the Kamen Rider series, it was revealed that up until ''[[Kamen Rider ZX]]'', all the organizations the Riders had fought were led by the original Shocker's Great Leader. Naya himself voiced most if not all of this character's appearances.
