 Various news reports have reported that seiyuu Kinryuu Arimoto died at dinner time on February 1 in an hospital in Tokyo, Japan. His cause of death was due to esophageal cancer. He was 78 years old. A funeral was already held among the family.Arimoto is famous for voicing Newgate Edward from the One Piece series. He also voiced Tomomi Masaoka from the Psycho-Pass series and Eddie Jay from the Uchuu Kyoudai series, to name a few. He also dubbed Christopher Walken's roles and was also active as a stage actor. His name actually reads as Yoshitaka, but the Kanji was deemed hard to read so he changed it to Kinryuu while active in the entertainment field.

Can't say as I've ever heard of him but RIP my friend. Life Is Short But Intense. |
I am very sorry for this loss. My heart goes to his family and hopefully feel better as time passes. It is sad to hear that a good famous voice actor passes. |
Hearing about legends dying really strikes hard. Rest in peace good sir. |
RIP. Thank you for making the voice of Newgate Edward. Modified by Elyshion, Feb 11, 2:11 PM |
His gruffy voice so memorable. Be it in Kill la Kill, FMA (both versions), One Piece, Psycho-Pass, his voice, and the characters he voiced, were appealing and well done. Such a loss.  |
