Damn...I've recently been watching a lot of anime he's been featured in...Initial D, Macross Plus and Delta, Juushinki Pandora...I'm watching Aquarion right now and he also voiced Fudou the badass commander? And now he's gone...Looks like Pandora might have to take a break to find a new VA to fill in for Cain...

Rest in Peace, and thanks for everything.

Genuinely sad about this; Ishizuka was one of, if not my favourite Japanese voice actor. He was great in so many roles, my favourites being Jet Black, Ryotaro Dojima, and of course Professor Oak and the narrator from Pokemon. He was even amazing and the weirdo dad from Sankarea and the narrators of Zero kara and SAO Gun Gale online. Will miss his voice for sure :(

I just got done watching Ep. 19 of Juushinki Pandora when I saw this. His VA is literally like the most pervasive one out there. Sad to see how many characters will now need to be recast.

It's been a few days, but man, I'm still really bummed by this news...

Mr. Ishizuka was an incredibly talented VA and one of my personal favorites. He voiced so many great characters (Jet and Joseph being two of my faves), and he always gave an stand-out performance in every role. It sounds like he was a great guy IRL too, from what his co-stars have said. The world of Japanese voice acting truly isn't going to be the same without him. :(

Thanks for giving us so many wonderful characters, Ishizuka-san. See you Space Cowboy...

Spike: Are you still in pain?
Jet: [beat] Have you heard this story?
Spike: Huh?
Jet: A man injures his leg during a hunt. He's in the middle of the savanna. No means to treat the wound. The leg rots and death approaches. Last minute, he's picked up by an airplane. He looks down and sees a land of pure white below him, glistening in the light. It's the summit of a snow-capped mountain. The mountain is Kilimanjaro. As he gazes down, he feels the life flowing out of him and then, he thinks, "That's where I was headed."
Spike: ..And?
Jet: I hate stories like that. Men only think of their past right before their death, as if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive.

The first role I heard him in and still one of my favorites. To think I was happily trawling through Persona 5's Reddit only to be hit with this sad news (P4 Dojima's seiyuu passed away).
Unshou Ishizuka, the voice actor world will never be the same without you.
A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

Rest in peace, it will be hard for anyone to replace him. I'll surely miss his voice as Borsalino in One Piece, it was very fitting for the character.

Hmm I wonder if he'll take over in One Piece as well... he already voices Kinemon there, but I can't imagine Borsalino with his voice.
