    He was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer a few weeks ago. Some were optimistic that he could pull through being young, but "stage 4 x" in medical terms is pretty much a death sentence. Some of his more notable roles: Naofumi in "Rising of the Shield Hero", Ferdinand von Aegir in Fire Emblem, Josuke Higashikata in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Shinei Nouzen in "86", and Dr. Maruki in Persona 5 Royal. I think my favorite role of his was as Asmodeus, "Azz-Azz" in "Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun". Being a bit of an over-the-top comedy, it allowed him, among others, to really go ham. He's only been a known name in voice acting for a few years, but he always sounded great in everything he did. Gonna miss him.

    No idea who he is, but sad news either way.

    Colon cancer is more and more common in the 20-40 age bracket, my mother had it twice, grandmother once and a 34 year old friend of the family currently has it.
