The report missed Doctor X .

That's what I will miss him for - his conversations about the bills and receiving fresh Melon are absolute classic comedy.

Sad I've seen him in a few movies here and there, but I mainly knew him as Pigsy/Cho Hakkai in the late '70s Monkey/Saiyūki TV series...

Is he the same actor that appears in Beato Takeshi's yakuza trilogy ?

Loved him on Doctor X. Was pleasantly surprised to see him in Space Battleship Yamato. Was there a plan for a Season 8 of Doctor X? It won't be the same without him.

This makes me very sad as he was my favourite ptotrayal of Zhu Bajie (original chinese name). I remember seeing it on BBC Canada with it inspiring me actively pursue Paleography (the study of ancient writings).
