Kozo Shioya, best known for voicing Majin Buu in the Dragon Ball Z, has died.https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/30461922/
RIP Fatman
Buu was my favorite Dragon Ball villain when I was a kid
He passed away on January 20th due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Aoni Production made the announcement today.He was 70 years old.
Seeing his work, he had a bunch of fat characters. I saw Slam Dunk in Japanese years ago so I remember Sakuragi's fat friend. Also he did Fatman in Metal Gear Solid 2.F
Rest in peace sweet prince. Enjoy the candies on heaven.

https://twitter.com/NOBUKIHIYAMAY08/status/2016482016569741370Nobuyuki Hiyama's words on Kozo Shioya's passing."I just heard the news of the passing of Kozo Shioya.Even though we were with different agencies, he was a senior who took care of me in all kinds of ways ever since my debut days.My most vivid memory is, of course,「The King of Braves GaoGaiGar」That production truly was an exhausting, wonderful experience. Thank you for everything."
>>285633668Man, if Dragonball keeps running forever like a Marvel property then I guess by the time I'm greying and old too everyone in the cast would've gone and replaced.
>>285634849They're mainly older people that likely have a history of smoking and drinking. Not exactly hard to figure out.
>>285634364lol Gonzo
>>285634391Big roles for a big man.
>>285634084At this rate every other DB regular dies before Nozawa
>>285633805>70 years old Just a fucking kid…
>>285634364>Gonzo>Duck
>>285634364RIP Mondo, you were a bit more tolerable than Beecha.

https://twitter.com/inouekazuhiko/status/2016476165306008063Kazuhiko Inoue's words on the death of Shioya"Mr. Kozo Shioya... We met last month, and I said something like, "It's been a while—how have you been?" ...and yet... This is so regrettable. I sincerely pray for his eternal rest."
>>285633668Rest in peace.
>>285633805>cerebral hemorrhageShould have listened to the man
>>285633668Rest In Peace, Kozo. Buu is one of my favorites and his arc played a big part into me discovering Dragon Ball. Ten years too early, man.
>>285633668F70 is pretty young for a japanese person to die these days
>>285634364Party's over... RIP
>>285633668now if only the grandma who voices Goku would finally die
>>285633668Just when the new Dragon Ball anime was announced. RIP ;_;
>>285634364rip
>>285633668>>285634364>>285634730RIP
>>285634364It's always sad to me when a Thomas and Friends VA dies. Never saw the dub, but he seems like a great fit for Duck.
>>285634364>Kinnikuman's dad Based
>>285637133seriously though, 70 is super young for japs who are supposed to live until 85
>>2856457994 of Mater Roshi's japanese VAs are dead, Ox-King's VA is dead, Mr. Popo's VA is dead and 2 of Mr. Satan's VAs are dead as well (the one who voiced him in Z plus GT and the one who voiced him in Super)
>>285641736Get help.
>>285634364Sleep tight, big bro
>>285634364>Kurotoraneat I didn't know that also Kruschev
>>285634364Uhh, what?
>>285634364So many fat guys
>>285634364I didn't expect to see a tank engine. What a list.
>>285633668Farewell Mondo.
>>285659754Very important role.
>>285633668F
>>285633668Rip.
>>285657430This was actually a very common response years ago when a VA who voiced nothing but minor roles died. Maybe if you would have lurked more instead of trying to turn this board into your reddit hugbox such flippant posts wouldn't bother you so much.
>>285633668>best known for voicing Majin Buu??That's Scott McNeil
>>285645799>>285657329Tenshinhan's original VA passing away back in the mid-2000s.
>>285634364what is that monk with a bandolier looking character down at the middle bottom?
>>285633668FUUUUUUCK HE WAS SUPPOSED TO VOICE DAIKAIOH/GSKREST IN POWER
>>285633805>cerebral hemorrhageDidn't this happened to Toriyama too?
>>285657311I guess it is on the younger side by their standards.
>>285671085Xavi from Sengoku Basara
>>285671290iirc his was subdural hematoma, but I'm not medically inclined enough to know if there's a big difference
>>285633668RIP Buu
>>285634849I would guess smoking and generally unhealthy lifestyles play a part
>>285634364He would definitely fit as that asshole green train.
>>285673751Th/a/nks.
>>285674996Subdural is inside the meningesCerebral is inside the brainEither way it wasn't pleasant, oof
>>285633668>>285633805RIP
>>285671273A damn shame.
owari da
>>285633668FDeath finally caught him
>>285641341HAADO CANDY NATEEHHOne of my favorite lines from Hyper Dimenson. I really hated how the dub made him speak like a caveman, he was just dimwitted.
>>285633668R.I.P.
>>285667534Schizo
>>285667534The new common response is inquiring about his vaccination status.
RIP anime voice actor man.
Karma to Dragon Ball fans for being so fucking annoying.
>>285633668>DBS wastes a chance for buu kino in the ToP>now his actor is deadI hope Toei execs join Toriyama in hell real soon.
>>285690029That's not his fault, c'mon man.
