I've been collecting tweets since yesterday. A lot of fans posting old performances and such.

Two performances of his two songs he joined in to sing on Pokemon:

Iwane Masaaki, a proliferant animator for Pokemon, also weighed in to give his well wishes:

In an older interview, Kozo Shioya once asked "who is going to voice Mister Satan" after Daisuke Gouri had died. Now with Unshou-san's death who replaced Gouri-san in several works like Tekken and Dragon Ball, their characters died yet again.

Man, look at this so many tweets and tributes. It goes shows how much they all loved him. The world will not be same without him.

Though I'm not a fan of Pokemon, I'll miss his iconic voice of Professor Oak and many other characters that I admired.

Rest in peace to one of my favorite voice actors, literally ever. His youthful geezer voice can never be replicated.

He was very beloved. He had an impact on a lot of others and he will be dearly missed.

"Drift King" Keiichi Tsuchiya also responded to Ishizuka's passing.

Both were involved in Initial D series, there was a scene in First Stage where Tsuchiya called to Bunta, before Takumi's race vs Ryosuke. Tsuchiya was also a series supervisor (in terms of cars) and he also sung one of songs with Ishizuka, called "86".
