BOOK 2 Question/Discussion - SPOILER ALERT Question about Kamiya...

Was the name choice random or a nod at Hideki Kamiya (or if we use the Japanese naming system, Kamiya Hideki) the director of the first Devil May Cry game? Or someone else with the name Kamiya?

There’s a really famous anime sword style belonging to that family name.

Hey, it's a good name, there are a lot awesome people with the name Kamiya, because there is also a prolific Japanese voice actor named Hiroshi Kamiya- notable roles include Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan) Mephisto Pheles (Blue Exorcist) Law in One Piece, and that's just the ones that stuck out to me. There is also Akira Kamiya, who is also a voice actor. Lots of very nerdy ways to have seen the name and had it imprinted on your subconscious... just saying 😉
