I really liked his voice. Whenever I recognized it in an anime or game, I always searched him up and guessed right. Always remembered him through his sunglasses too.

Such sad news. At least now he's relieved from the pain and suffering.
Rest in peace Fujiwara-san. You'll be missed.

he went on hiatus in like mid 2016 ish to undergo medical treatment for an "unspecified illness" so I'm assuming it was around that time

Damn. Keiji Fujiwara is my favorite voice actor. His voice is so unique and recognizable. He's extremely talented and did amazing work. This is very unfortunate. May he rest in peace. Thank you for all your hard work!

It's like Hughes died again, but irl this time.
I'm shocked by how much this news truly saddens me.
He had the type of a voice that would instantly just fill you up with joy and glee. Every time I heard his voice I smiled. I just did. Every time I heard his voice in a title I knew I'm gonna be in for a treat.
He truly made Hughes as iconic as he become. You reread fma - you hear his voice.
God, he made so many good characters great it's kinda ridiculous.
So many favorite series of mine have his voice in them.
His "koi no uta" from Tamako Love Story is one of my most beloved little character song ever. I've watched that movie in theater and to this day I remember that rush of pure happiness that singing scene just wrapped me in. Listening to it on repeat now.
Rest in peace, golden voice.

He was my favorite Japanese voice actor. This is so sad and right after the new Utawarerumono series was announced. I can't help but picture that scene at the end with Kuon and her uncle as I write this. All the amazing roles this man has played through the years. He was one very talented and distinct voice actor. He had one of those voices that you'd recognize immediately in any anime and know it was him. The hearts he has touched around the world with his characters will always be remembered. May he rest in peace knowing he left his mark on the world and all the joy he has brought to others.

He was easily one of the most recognisable voices in the industry, and it's surprising how much of a sucker punch this is... I didn't even realise he was on hiatus. Rest in peace, you will be remembered.

Ikr; yet with this news about him passing away is that we now find out the unspecified illness. Who knew that his health was in critical condition.

Wow. I've never came across the death of a very popular seiyuu during my time as an anime fan. I also watched Hunter x Hunter and Arakawa Under the Bridge a few days ago and little did I know that this would happen.

All I can say now is this:
Thank you. F**k you. The star is


RIP Fujiwara-san.

He had performed really great in HxH 2011 and FMAB, what a loss to the industry, those 2 were great characters.
RIP my man...

He recently also did the dad's VA in Dr.Stone, and he even was a MC on Hajime no Ippo, such a unique "raspy" voice he had.
