January 2014 is a cursed month for japanese voice actors, I believe this is the fourth who has passed in this month.

I loved him as the Raalgon Empire's evil and traitorous Prime Minister Wang in my all-time favorite anime, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor.

January 2014 is of course the cursed month for Japanese voice actors and, according to Japanese Wikipedia, Masaaki Tsukada (塚田正昭) is the third Japanese voice actor who died in 2014. How about that?

What does it mean that his wife "will be his chief mourner during his memoral services this weekend"? Is that a Japanese funerary custom, having a chief mourner?

What will be really weird is if the Bleach anime ever returns, they'll need to cast a brand new actor as Yamamoto for the story arc where spoiler[the character dies] :S.

That aside, it's absolutely tragic. R.I.P.
