Wasn't this also the cause of death for Akira Toriyama?

RIP Crying or Very sad Anime cry

He also provided the voiceover for Eddie Murphy in Japanese dubs of several live-action films.


That makes it more sadder, who's going to succeed Shimojo to dub over Eddie Murphy for the Japanese voice?

Normally, Koichi Yamadera is the one who normally dubs Murphy in his films there. Shimojou only dubbed him in alternative or older dubs.

Oh yeah, I forgot Koichi Yamadera is the main official dub-over voice actor for Eddie Murphy along with Will Smith and other well-known top Hollywood actor. But it still sad to see Shimojo passed away.

Are men in that kind of age range vulnerable to this sort of thing? I'm starting to get the idea that's the case.
