Master Roshi, nooo
His death is sad but...... Masuoka only voiced Roshi in the last 20 episodes of Z and GT, so I'm pretty sure you confused him to Kouhei Miyauchi (Already passed away back in 1995) who voiced Roshi in original DB and Z and Masaharu Satou for Kai onward.
Oh..
Did not know that
At least the english voice actor for roshi is still alive and well
Tnx for the input:)
