Unless people have played games that Kaiji's done VA work for, it kinda makes sense to do it like this. The movie world will recognize Ryan more than they'll recognize Kaiji and vice versa. The video game world will recognize Kaiji easier than they would Ryan who, iirc, has only done VA work for one game.
