Rather frustratingly for me, Otsuka was also a notable Satellaview seiyuu - he was the King of Subcon in BS Super Mario USA.

I was very sad to hear this. He's had quite a career, and his Eggman voice was awesome, IMO. RIP Chikao Otsuka.

I'm on the verge of tears, this is terrible news. I'll miss that mischievous laugh of his. And to think, his last project as the good doctor was Rise of Lyric. How...sad... Rest in peace, ol' top, and take pride in the fact that you were a living legend during your final years.

Aside from Eggman, anyone who knows their stuff about Mega Man Zero will know him as Dr. Weil.

Sad to hear of his passing, I loved his work which is very iconic with his style.

I just found out he was the voice of Weil 10 minutes ago, and it's sad to say that's all I know him for. I don't listen to Sonic games in Japanese, or watch much anime. But even though the Zero games had very little voice acting, there was something about Weil's voice that always sounded sinister.

Looking over his Wikipedia page, he was not Death in Castlevania Rondo of Blood as I had suspected, but it appears he was Dr. Peace in the first No More Heroes game, a character based on the roles of Charles Bronson voiced by the official dub artist for Charles Bronson.

This man's voice was iconic in a way that I'm not going to fully appreciate till I start realizing that anime and japanese games are sounding "different".

It never really dawned on me that he was in his 80s until recently.

Rest in peace. We'll miss the hell out of you.

This is a rather scary coincidence, but Deem Bristow also passed away on January 15 exactly ten years prior.

[Lanzer]

That is freaky, what did Deem die of again?

Apparently heart attack, but that's from IMdb and he doesn't have a Wikipedia page.

If I recall correctly Deem had been out dancing when he had his heart attack?

[Overlord]

I believe he was at a singles ball, yes - don't have a link to the source for that offhand, though.

[Lanzer]

So he died of heart issues too?! fuck now thats REALLY weird.

[Vertrex]

It is such a shame, and well.. quite shocking that he passed away.
Rest in peace, Chikao Otsuka.
