DarkeSword Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Let's try this again. http://kotaku.com/5450692/tekken-voice-actor-dead-police-investigating-suicide Daisuke Gouri passed away this past Sunday at around 3:00 pm in Tokyo after being discovered wandering the streets in Nakano ward, blood dripping from his arm, before collapsing face-down. He was 57 years old. Besides an impressive list of anime credits, Gouri also voiced Bass Armstrong in the Dead or Alive series, Mister Hercule Satan in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai and Heihachi Mishima in the Tekken games — among other titles that include Metal Gear Solid 2, Soulcalibur and Final Fantasy XII.According to the report, a knife or some kind of sharp object was discovered near the scene as well as Gouri's last will and testament. Authorities are investigating this as a possible suicide. Let's try to show some respect with our comments, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 List of performances: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisuke_Gouri Basically, he did many of the manly or deep voices in anime, games, and dubs - Gilgamesh from FF12, Goda from Fumoffu, Mister Satan in the DBZ Budokai games, General Pepper, Andross, and Pigma from SF64, Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters 2, and a host of others.

Section Nemesis Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 This is really sad news, I really liked his work in Tekken especially, but that may be because that's the work I was most familiar with. He'll be sorely missed, and I hope he rests in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 R.I.P. I'm sure I've heard him before, probably as Hercule in DBZ Budokai. I don't think I even made it as far as Gilgamesh in FF12... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Literally my favorite Japanese VA. This is an awful day for me. Playing as Heihachi will just never be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Dondopachi in Bleach will have to get a new seiyuu. That's gonna be awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
