Forum:Dondochakka Bilstin Seiyū Daisuke Gōri passes away

I am very sad to report that Daisuke Gōri best know for voicing playing Robin Mask in Kinnikuman, Umigame and Mr. Satan in the Dragon Ball franchise and Dondochakka Bilstin in Bleach, has passed away at age 57.

Seems that he might have committed suicide. Clearly behind the mask of Dondochakka he was a very troubled man. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends. Tinni  (Talk)  09:33, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

When was the last episode/omake with Dondochakka in it? TomServo101 17:03, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * If I am not mistaking, episode 200 was when Dondochakka had a speaking part in the actual anime. But Dondochakka turned up in episode 214 Omake. Tinni   (Talk)  17:08, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Sad though it is, ep. 200 (if you're correct) is the last episode he voiced him; that can be added to the character's info box (probably not now, mind). That's why I left the question on the article's talk page. TomServo101 17:33, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, I seem to have badly phrased my reply. Dondochkka also spoke during his omake appearance in episode 214. So the last time Daisuke Gōri would have voiced Dondochkka is episode 214. However, until his replacement is announced we shouldn't make the final call. For all we know, he could have pre-recorded some voice work for Omakes between now and when anime returns to manga based episodes. Tinni   (Talk)  13:00, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

This is very sad news. And he was just beginning to voice Jimbei in One Piece (who is where I get my name from). My condolences to his friends and family.--KnightoftheSea 22:07, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, that's terrible! He really brought Dondochakka to life, dontcha know. Evilgidgit 12:57, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
