Years later, Iwata's career took a pivotal turn when he starred as Shōtarō Kaneda in ''Akira''. Though his fame became widespread after the film's release, he was not able to make good use of it due to Gekidan Komadori not specializing in voice actor roles. As a result, he changed his profession to voice acting, though the transition was not a smooth one partially because of his immaturity at the time.
