I just heard about that. Jōji Yanami has passed-away. He voiced the narrator (for the entire franchise up-to early DragonBall Super) and Master Kaio notably for DragonBall.

They replaced him early-on in DragonBall Super because of age problems I think so yeah.

Rest in peace.

RIP, he should've retired before Super and I enjoyed his voice work in both DB/Z and Inuyasha (even though the latter series went to shit)

I have no idea what he did for Inu-Yasha, but he was a legend. He was there from the beginning for the DragonBall TV-series. Might have actually (can’t check right-now) uttered the first line of dialogue for the series.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. I hadn’t watched in a-bit and never really looked. He has so many notable roles to his name though, it’d be impossible to remember everything.

RIP. These voice actors are on their way out due to the old age. Bulma's VA died in an accident iirc, Mr. Satan's VA also passed away last year I think and now this.

I thought Bulma’s seiyuu just passed-away. Not an accident. That was also Mr. Satan’s second seiyuu who passed-away recently.
