R.I.P.
Can't say anything more, it's a great lose.
No words. Only sad face.
:(
RIP, good sir.
R.I.P. Dozle Zabi
he couldnt live with himself anymore after having voiced dondochakka
very sad indeed ... I wonder what drove him to commit such an act †
Seiyuu of epic quality and longevity has been lost. DBZ Kai won't sound the same anymore T_T
Heihachi Mishima...
Usually it doesn't get to me much, but...Heihachi? I mean I loved his voice...T.T
Heihachi Edajima and Heihachi Mishima.
great seiyuu.
he also was Andross and Pigma in Star Fox games(and many bosses in Star Fox 64)
that guy is amazing from Fist of North Star.
oh well. i think we must respect him.
The voice acting industry will always remember Mr.Gori for his great work. R.I.P.
It was KIRA. He lives and still has a page of the DeathNote.
a true important dead
R.I.P =(
sigh...I am recently watching Dragonball and Dragonball Z Buu saga (Japanese)...
This is sad news indeed...especially when I heard Mr. Satan just a few hours ago...
I remember him as Dauros of Transformers Masterforce, Goryu/Dinoking of Transformes Victory, and Violenjiger of Transformers Zone. He was also Soundwave of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.
Damn now I'm gonna be sad and get my ass beaten every time I play Tekken 3.
TAWABA!
No worries, We still have English voice Satan/Hercule
I'm going to take a moment of silence for him.
Sayonara, Daisuke-san. Rest in Peace ;(
Continue???

In 2chan, have somebodies suspecting to being assassinations (aka, yuuai) because is in middle of road and not in his house.
If someone wants to suicide, normally he will junp from a builoding or comit suicide in his house.
and the TV program what he was working was the ONLY ONE what debated about of foreigner's suffrage.
So, because of that, some fans are suspecting he was yuuaid.
Yuuai (友愛, fraternity) is used in 2chan to refer as assassination with political reasons.
Wut, i never knew he voiced Heihachi Mishima... Fuck, now it's just way too sad
Well, I've just realized that you will know you have something of great value only when it is gone forever... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Whoa...Heihachi is really dead now. Damn, he was one of the best out there.
He really doesn't have many starring or big name roles going through that list.
A lot are "roles" there sum up to 1-10 lines max like slayers.
Video game ones like Heihachi probably had the most lines. Although to be fair a lot of those series are for kids like pokemon/one piece and I have zero fucking idea about those ones.
it could be it was just made to look like suicide
I am really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, its rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays kbgdgfecbcacbedf
Oh-Oh...
It seems that they will have to kill Jimbey in some next 50 series :)
No! Not this guy! He's awesome! Why would he even do something like that? The industry is gonna miss him badly. My condolences to his loved ones.
Suicide is a choice that many would call cowardly.... I tend to agree, but I've never considered it. My love for my family, friends, video games, good music, good drink, good food, and other things; prevent me from thinking this way. If I was broke, I had no family and no friends; maybe I'd feel that way. No one chooses to be born, but unfortunately we all have the choice to die. I enjoyed many of his characters, and I'll miss him. May he find peace in the oblivion he sought.
RIP
somoene need to replace him for Jimbei (One Piece)
He was found on the street? Sounds like a setup.
How could a man, participated in making One Piece ever commit a suicide ? Its so much against OP spirit... I simply cant believe it...
Rest in [One] Piece.
Damn, he voiced one of the best villains I have seen in an RPG. If it was suicide, I wonder what his reasons would be. Either way, may he rest in peace.
so whos jimbei for one piece now? or are they gonna make him a silent character
i don't think it was suicide, sounds like a murder.
he worked on so many animes and this year he is pretty active too, he wouldn't take his own life before finishing his work..
Even if he wanted to suicide he wouldn't do it outdoor. As a famous seiyuu, if anyone sees him with a knife it would be weird and people might actually stop him from suicide..
The knife was found underneath his body?? It should be in his hand..
I wish the note was translated and posted here..
I was just playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2... I was about to fight Volf, who was voiced by him. Now I don't really feel like playing for a while...
Rest in peace, Mr. Gouri. Many memorable characters were played by him.
RIP. It is sad to see this always as it is. Someone who participated in so many different series as a voice actor and who had an impact on the show series themselves enough to be hired to do another one. Maybe the older VAs need fan clubs like the cute young ones have so they can see the watchers of the shows heard them so whatever else is getting them really down won't have such a bad impact as to result in this type of ending.
Assuming family ment his blood relatives?
Did die single with no wife or kids?
NO MORE DONDOCHAKKA IN BLEACH FFFFFFFFFFFFF
oh shit.... no more DONDOCHAKKA voice in bleach.... :(
Agh! I remember he was also Gaia from Battle Arena Toshinden 1-3. Now I'm officially sad!
Hm Suicide...
I would do the same.
Seeing his character,in this case Heihachi,getting abused by the 360 in Tekken 6 would be for everyone too much.
The shit wasn't funny when you said that in kotaku. It isn't funny here either.
He is Jimbei in One Piece.
was...
Ouch.
The guy's made more big brute voices than most people have watched series. Unfillable hole has been made.
Hope he finds the peace in the next world that he couldn't find in this one.
A knife was found underneath his body.
Probably under his corpse and not under and INSIDE his corpse.
He was probably just lying on a flat part...otherwise it would be a "He accidently ran into the knife while I was holding it....40 times and then decided to hang himself and set himself on fire."
