==Notes==

*Iwanami is particularly fond of adlibbing and has employed it in many of his dubs.  In addition to extensive adlibbing in all of his ''Transformers'' localizations, the TV Tokyo versions of ''X-Men'' and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (which he directed) were also notorious for their adlibbing.

*Iwanami appeared for a special extended interview (conducted by [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]]) in the "[[Transformers: Prime Perfect Transformation Late Night 2-Hour Special]]" to discuss his long-time history with the ''Transformers'' franchise.
