Wasn't he literally just in a Konami livestream like a month ago to shill new Manjoume cards? That's kinda nuts.

>>26819486310
>>268194896100
>>2681949141000
>>268190154I mostly remember him for his roles in Toei's shows, especially Savers Agumon. He was so young, just one year younger than my father. Sounds cheesy, but news like these make me think how fragile we truly are, and how death is always in every corner waiting for a chance to strike.May he rest in peace.
>>268192992Short answer: it lost to Conan, a manga that was unironically made to compete with Kindaichi's popularity at first. And Western readers dont seem to be interested of following more than 1 detective manga.Longer answer: Just a thought but if I were to assume, its popularity peak was back in 1997/8 due to a popular Live Action series, but then the original manga ended, and the mangaka just kinda worked on Kindaichi in a rather peculiar way where it changed its titles a lot (Short Files, Cases, New, 20th Anniversary, etc which I found a bit strange because the storytelling format (just a collection of cases with little no continuity after one another except when Yuichi Takato appeared because he's just that evil scheming guy who goes around orchestrating murders for other people who are deep into revenge or smth) barely changed with each new title. Also there's that little stint where the mangaka put a stop on working for more Kindaichi to work on Detective School Q. And through the entire time of this modern Kindaichi's serialization, it only received a handful of new LA series and movie and that 2 seasons of new Kindaichi anime back in 2013-14, certainly far cry compared to the shilling Conan got. I'm also certain to think Kindaichi became 37yo suddenly because it just could no longer capture more readers from the younger generation so might as well move the manga into Seinen demography.t. Kindaichi reader since 2002-now
>>268192992As far as Burgerland goes, the original manga and the Kindaichi R anime got released here but it never managed to get even a cult followingl like Detective Conan did.

>>268201729They completely fucked up Plankton though. Gave him a childlike voice which misses the joke of such a small character having such a deep, booming voice.
>>268206933It's such a Japanese thing to do. At least he sounds cute.
https://x.com/yugioh_movie/status/1806270432867430435He looked so healthy in his recent stream appearance. How is he not with us anymore, unbelievable...
I didn't know him or his characters, but it's always sad to lose a seiyuu that young. RIP man.
>>268194775ICHI, HYAKU, SEN, MANJOUME SANDA!
>>268198725>>268200682Apparently according to this Japanese wiki page he got hit by a van when he was in grade school The injury was so bad that brain fluid was coming out of one his ears but I wonder if that injuries that old can suddenly just reopen 40 or so years later.
>>268194775ICHI, KYUU, HYAKU, SEN, MATSUNO SANDAAAAA!!!!!!
>>268190328that's all normal married men
Messages have been appearing on social media from various people, especially actors, talking about how kind he was on sets and in the recording booth, often lending a kind hand or word, letting them know how well they did after their first recordings, going out for dinner after recordings, that if they were transferring agencies he would show up to help, and more.Why do we always lose the nicest ones...
>>268207381yeah, that pretty much explains what happened. a lot of injuries can heal but never completely.
>>268207381Same thing happened to a friend, he had an accident when he was 8yo, the internal head injury never fully healed, he died at 18yo.
>>268208102Sorry to hear that, anon. I hope he didn't suffer much.
Be honest: how many of you actually read/watched Kindaichi?
>>268194278>another One Piece VA who dies before it ends.How many has it been already? Double digits?
>>268210027I have.
I've recently rewatched Fresh so this hits me super hard
>>268191414Yep, he was the JP dub voice for SpongeBob from Season 4 onwards>>268194516On the villain side but Masaki Terasoma played the main villain in Kamen Rider Black, then went on to play a bunch of roles in anime. Rica Matsumoto also played a few Sentai villains but she was already a fresh VA in the anime scene around the same time
>>268210027>>268210237It's just a shame that we never get to talk about this series, and even the man who voiced the MC dying didn't start anything.
>>268190154Another one dying in his 50s.It's the effects of Fukushima.

Rest in Peace.

>>268205065>>268206446Signore Manjoume...
I'm legitimately scared of which GX-related seiyuu is gonna kick the bucket next.
>>268190442Holy shit you pathetic wannabe-jannies should slit your throats
>>268215263Don't jinx it, appreciate the ones that are still here
>>268215263You just made me realize I had been waiting for a DSOD style movie for GX with everyone as adults and Manjoume SANDAAAAA was the one I wanted to see the most.FUCK this hurts. And Judai of course, but I think he hasn't even done seiyuu work since GX, he was precisely leaving to chase his musical career.
>>268215359KENN has a huge amount of roles for a YGO MC seiyuu.
>>268194516MJP has a coupleIzuru's ShinkenBlue. Sugaru was GokaiSilver (who got busted for fraud last year iirc)Plus Mao/Luka/GokaiYellow's pretty much a VA now. There's also MegaBlue who went onto become more of a VA too (Gally in IBO, Jin in SRWUX, etc)
>>268215399WAIT WHAT THE FUCKHE'S THE CYBERRUNNERS MC? That's big. I haven't actually watched that anime but it was one of the best ones from last year supposedly. Good for him, this will be my reason to finally watch it.

>>268210027I have and oddly enough, I come round to rereading/rewatching the whole series including movies and the original drama half a year ago mostly because, well, Kindaichi soundtracks(both anime and drama) are so good that they live in my head rent-free since I was a kid telling me to do it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnEJ9RFaVEU
>>268197554>theory
>>268212321The best we get is sometimes being allowed to piggyback off of Detective Conan threads, since there's like...five of us.A manga story time or anime watch party might help, but probably not.
>>268190154>Toriyama passed away>Fujiko's voice actress passed away>Some other huge Seiyuu passed away>Wakamoto retired
>>268221633Meanwhile none of the faggots and leeches ruining western comics die like Dan Slott, Tom King and Tini Howard.They have a deal with the devil, it cant be.
>>268191065Probably safe to say there wouldn't be any new Kindaichi anime even if he were alive. It's been a decade.
>>268210027Read the manga since I was 4yo (pretty much remember every cases from the original series since I owned every volumes of it, not so much to the newer cases but I can still jog my memory from re-reading them), never a fan of the anime even though I did remember it was aired in my local tv back in early 2000s (wanted to watch it but it has like 140+ episodes and I just can't find the motivation to watch any anime in general), although I did complete the 1st season of 2014 Kindaichi anime and a couple of live action series (they're kinda scarce and rather low quality sadly).Detective School Q should also be read/watched if you like Kindaichi.
>>268190154Chibiusa's boyfriend died, sad
>>268210027They aired it in my country, I didn't like it, seemed too similar to Detective Conan which I also don't really care about
>>268190154F
>>268227279NOOOOOOOO ;__;
>>268227193Probably a side effect of reading the manga first, but it drove my autism insane how the anime jumbled the order of some cases. Particularly the Opera House Murders and its sequel.>>268227414They are pretty similar, though Kindaichi predates it by a few years.

>>268239280My point is that there's been a lot of time to get a new series made and it just hasn't happened.
>>268239364Fair enough. It took awhile to get R series as well. And the end, Conan has already won the war and the market hasn't in need of 2nd anime detective series to go for.

>>268197585Damn...
Jesus Christ GX was 20 years ago.
>>268280616Feels even more saddening that Matsuno passed away in GX's 20th anniversary.
>>268190289It sure is strange how many recently died suddenly.
>>268280616And Savers is not even two years away from its twentieth
>>268197554It IS the same reason, but that reason in this case is overwork. Voice work is harder than many realize, especially JP where they take it seriously. What anon said is true in general though.
>>268197359>>268280853>>268226714Or in Kazuki's case, dying in the ocean.
>>268198725Sometimes it just happens. Any number of things can cause it.>>268207381For anons curious, the way brain trauma tends to work is that injuries don't get healed "back to normal", things get patched and rewired to get back to "working order" asap, which means as time goes on the adhesive on the metaphorical duct tape wears off. It's not always fatal, sometimes additional patching happens, but it's never good. It does tend to happen now and then that sometimes you have a previous trauma that gets borked away, like depressive episode disappearing, but more often than not it induces said depressive episode.
