Wow. Another person has passed away. I assume it was natural since the article doesn't say it was by anything else. I hope his friends and family can get through this. He played many great roles that impacted the lives of children and adults. Thank you for that. RIP

Unfortunately, another Kingdom Hearts VA has left us before KH3.

Another death. Too sad. This along with Gary Michaels and Kazunari Tanaka earlier. I enjoyed his part as 007, even if I only heard him in the movie version. May he Rest In Peace.

OMG another death? And I thought last year was bad.

His death stroke me more since I really enjoyed his role as Suneo in the original anime, I even kept some of the old movies. At least he will keep Gian company now, those two are inseperatable.

R.I.P Kimotsuki-san, thanks for all the joy and happiness you have brought to us all.

I didn't know he voiced characters in some of the shows mentioned in the article. Damn.

Sad news indeed. R.I.P. Kimotsuki.

I wonder who is going to voice Horrorman now. Guess it's time for me to look at the Japanese Wikipedia article of Anpanman to find out.

Oh, man...another death (albeit from natural causes, presumably)... Sad
R.I.P., Mr. Kimotsuki-san. You've made a great influence on many childhoods.

There have been so many deaths that I'm convinced that Death Notes are real and the people using them hate anime.

Rest in, Great Britain. I may have not have seen any of his roles, but he was certainly talented.

What in the world is going on here? It's like the Grim Reaper has something against the anime and manga industry lately. I don't know who this Kaneta Kimoksuki guy was but it's sad to see him pass away all the same. It's just plain sad. Sad

So long,Mr. Kimoksuki. I may not have heard of you but it's sad to see you go all the same.

I can't believe I missed this announcement a while back, especially since this comes after my posted desire for no more VAs to be lost to 2016's death aura. Guess it wasn't listening to my plea. Just damn...

So now Suneo/Sneech joins Gian/Big G in passing. I guess this also means they need another voice for Jiminy Cricket since he's still chronicling Sora's adventure.
