Whoa didn't know he was Gol Rogers.

 

[Hero of Legend]

OH FOR FUCK SAKE.

Just found out he's actually the FOURTH voice of Eggman to pass, the 3rd was actually Junpei Takiguchi, who was his JP voice in the OVA:

This is fucked up.

Man, RIP...didn't see this coming. Now it's only Kiyoshi Kobayashi and Fujiko Mine's first series VA left. Lupin alumni last a while, excluding Yasuo Yamada of course. Even da big boss gonna die some time.

 

[DieH@rd]

RIP Big Boss.

Here is his performance at the end of MGS4

Farewell, JP Eggman

 

[Banana Aeon]

Rest in peace, Otsuka.

For the record here's a list of all the Japanese voice actors in the Metal Gear series who have died since voice work in the series began in 1998:

Chikao Ohtsuka (Big Boss, heart failure)
Takeshi Aono (Colonel Campbell & Granin, cerebral infarction)
Kaneto Shiozawa (Gray Fox, cerebral contusion)
Kōji Totani (MGS1 and 2's Revolver Ocelot, heart failure)
Kazuyuki Sogabe (Psycho Mantis, cancer)
Daisuke Gōri (Scott Dolph, suicide)
Kenji Utsumi (Colonel Volgin, cancer)
Kazumi Tanaka (The Fear, pulmonary heart disease)

For a series with such a relatively limited amount of characters, that's a large amount of people

I've noticed this as well. Tragic.
