It doesn't seem like it's officially known that Ryu Kisami = Masato Shimon; Shimon's Japanese Wikipedia article lists a bunch of aliases but not that one, and apparently at a 2010 event, the producer of Gingaman, Shigenori Takatera, was asked who Ryu Kisami was and he answered, "He resembles the singer of the Gatchaman theme song [Shimon], but it's only a resemblance!"

Quote:
プロデューサーの高寺重徳は、2010年8月13日に行われたイベント「『大魔神カノン』presents 「カノンのしらべ~佐橋×藤林の特撮音楽の世界」」において参加者から寄せられた「希砂未竜って誰?」とい う問いに対して「『ガッチャマン』主題歌の歌声に似ていますが……似ているだけです!」とコメントしている 。

I think that was not a good idea to remove the link to Shimon.

We don't link people based on vocal similarity, and the producer said they're different people (though he could of course be lying in order to keep it secret). If you have direct evidence they're the same person, you're welcome to provide it.

Yes, You are right! It is precisely what the producer said that confirms the hypothesis that is Ryu Kisami is exactly Masato Shimon! ^_^
