It's sad to see the creator of one of Japan's most well known series pass away. My condolences to his friends and family.

p.s. Cassandra Lee Morris never actually got to voice Tori from Zexal. She did voice Yubel from GX and Leo and Luna for the first half of 5D's.

I didn’t know he was for anti war and pro voting rights.
Sounds like such a great guy!

It warms my heart to see that Kaz was loved by many. That's my Game King. Crying or Very sad

Now I'm not trying to start anything to deviate from the topic of the article, but Lynzee... did you copy my links and statements from the original thread? Because aside from Kenjiro Tsuda at the top (I put him under Kagami), you have them in the exact order starting from Ogata to Takahashi (Hiroki). Not only that, but I put their character names (in Japanese) right next to them in brackets. If you did take from my post, aren't you suppose to credit me? That's all I'm saying.

Edit: Thank you for crediting me, Lynzee. Have a good night sleep for all your hard work you do.

Voices of Mai and Jonochi have commented too.

Nanao Haruhi (voice of Mai)
"I still can't put these feelings into words, so I'm going lock them away inside my heart for a little while. Please wait for the day I'm able to accept this. I'm OK, Sensei. I'm Mai, after all. I'm a strong woman. I'll keep my eyes on the work I have in front of me."

Hiroshi Takahashi (voice of Jonochi)
"Thank you for everything, from the bottom of my heart."

I don't think voting rights is the correct term. His post was just telling people to go out and vote and nothing to do with talking about restricting or granting the right to vote to people.

I was a huge fan of YGO and am sad to hear this news. It's nice to see all the people he worked with wishing him a peaceful rest. He really seemed to like the ocean, it's unfortunate what happened.

It's amazing to see VOs pour out their tributes to Takahashi, especially Dan Green and Eric Stuart. That's awesome! Smile

Knowing he was so loved and appreciated warms the heart.

(I still think it's kind of surreal that Cassandra Lee Morris was the original voice of Yubel in GX and Leo/Luna in 5D's).

I haven't been keeping up with the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game nor anime lately, but I went and bought a few packs for old time sakes. Yu-Gi-Oh! was a big part of my childhood and shame to see the original author leave so soon. Rest in Peace.

I don't have that many memories of playing the TCG, but learning YGO really did help me make friends.

I grew up reading and watching Yu-Gi-Oh so this is very painful.
