Given that TokuSpirits is cutting ties as well, I would be shocked to see him at a stateside convention ever again,

Was actually planning on attending and getting him to sign my Kimagure Orange Road Blu-ray, and I was binging the series in anticipation. I certainly don’t blame Momocon one bit for canceling him, and the entire situation is sad and unfortunate on so many levels.

The irony of voicing both Yamcha and Saibamen.

Title is wrong.

He is not appearing at the Momo-Con, not because of his affair; he is not appearing at the Momo-Con because of his domestic assault.

I feel your pain, I was looking to get the KOR Movie LaserDisc signed by him. I'm so let down by his actions it's unbelievable. From Gundam to Dragon Ball, it's unfortunate the voice behind so many legendary characters ended up this way...

Had the same thought. The original article buried the lead, too. Hey ANN editors: if a VA kills somebody and jaywalked to do it, please don't have a headline, "Famous VA caught jaywalking" and then mention the murder in the article. Oi vey.

Very sad. I hope that time passes and he will appear in different events.

Whenever something bad happens, there's always an event that's days away they were suppose to attend.
