R.I.P. Heihachi...
Gouri Daisuke, the well known (and loved) Japanese voice actor, passed away last Sunday around 3:00 pm. He was found dead on the street in Nanako, Japan, having bled to death from a wound to his arm. According to the report, a knife was discovered near the scene as well as Gouri's last will and testament. Authorities are investigating this as a possible suicide. He was 57.

Besides being on a significant amount of anime credits, Gouri Daisuke was possibly best known for being the voice of Heihachi Mishima. He also voiced Bass Armstrong in the Dead or Alive series, Edge Master of Soul Calibur, Mister Hercule Satan in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai; and also did voice work for Metal Gear Solid 2 & Final Fantasy XII. He will be missed.


rest in peace.
