Last July 12, the magazine, FLASH revealed a paparazzi photo of the popular voice actor, Kamiya Hiroshi (41), who was carrying a child (later revealed to be his own child). On the 17th of the same month, Kamiya has issued an apology in the radio show he hosts.
Here is the excerpt from his apology:
“In line with that [magazine article], I would like to sincerely apologize to the fans whose hearts may have hurt because of me. I’m truly sorry…we stayed silent about this matter until now as we did not have any time to announce it, and there were very few people who intrude in my private matters…if everybody will give me permission, I would like to continue working through my voice and performance."
However, not all of his fans can handle the said situation. There are people who graduated from being a Kamiya Hiroshi fan and start reselling his goods out of shock, and many have speculated the marriage might negatively affect his career as an anime/game voice actor.
Aside from Levi in Attack on Titan, he is known to be the voice of Terry (Dragon Quest Heroes II), Zeri (Valkyria Chronicles 2), Chalcedony Arcome (Tales of Hearts R), and Machina Kunagiri (Final Fantasy Type-0).

"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.

Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

... Getting married may affect getting voice acting roles for animes/games? Sad... I know you have the creepy lonely guys that want their female idols to remain "single and pure", but are the little girls going to be crushed that a 41 year old guy is married and has a kid?
That's some weird shit, right there.
Uh... Why is he apologizing for getting married?
Japanese pop culture makes me more uncomfortable than American pop culture at times
A voice actor having to apologise for getting married? Hah, sure, go tell that to Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey.
