** As to how Director Koichi Sakamoto answered to this subject, he revealed that "he wanted the Geed Riser voice to be based on Ultraman King since the beginning," further revealing his process of "casting the voice of King ''before'' Geed Riser;" So no matter how courtesy (and vulnerable) Hiyama was on this issue, Sakamoto's casting option was ''dead set'' on Hiyama as Ultraman King right from the get go. Sakamoto also stated that "he was curious on how Hiyama would sound like if he were to play a collected, [[RoyalBlood regal]] character."

** According to his interview with a Tokusatsu magazine, Hiyama revealed he was initially called in solely to voice Geed Riser, ''then'' was approached with the offer of playing King. Hiyama also revealed his thought process behind his weariness of darrin the role--first, ''Ultraman Leo'' was one of his most favorite Ultra Series, and two, he was keen over his voice to be more than likely [[VocalDissonance not suitable for an old geezer Ultraman despite "being physically fit for the age range."]] To sum up, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck he felt screwed,]] but accepted the challenge anyway.

** In regards to how Hiyama received the role of Ultraman King, Hiyama [[WordOfGod revealed]] at first he was approached by the ''Geed'' staff in person to ask him if they would have the honor to have him for the role. Normally, as according to Hiyama, he would take any roles at the drop of a hat if the roles were directly offered to him. But THE Ultraman King? ''[[DumbStruck He had]] [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe second thoughts.]]'' Hiyama wasn’t sure if he’s the best person for the task, so he proposed in taking the audition route and got the role from competing instead.[[https://www.twitter.com/nira3147/status/932970387977072640]][[https://www.twitter.com/nira3147/status/932970592411648000]]
