Rest in peace.

This is after Tom Kane passed away 3 days ago! And Fujiwara was even younger. RIP Gujiwara san.

I don't know what's causing so many VAs and other anime industry workers to die so young, but if it has anything to do with stress on the job then we need an intervention right now so this doesn't keep happening.

RIP Fujiwara Takahiro-san

Crazy coincidence but Fujiwaras seem to be cursed, Fujiwara Keiji and Fujiwara Cocoa as well

43 is way too young especially when I think about how I'm 41 so not too far off from him. I enjoyed his performance in My Hero Academia but it's too bad he passed away when he had such a full life ahead of him. RIP Takahiro Fujiwara.

RIP. Unfortunately, people can die young unexpectedly and sometimes for perplexing reasons. Race car champion driver Kyle Busch was racing just a weekend ago, complained of sinus cold on the helmet radio, and yesterday died at age 41 due to illness

Yeah thanks for mentioning that Enurtsol, I would've liked to mention that too but you saved me the time and effort.

So yeah, what happened to Takahiro Fujiwara (and Kyle Busch) is very sad and unfortunate. RIP to both of them.

Fujiwara was also Shutmon in Appmon which has become one of my favorite Digimon seasons and Shutmon was one of my favorite characters in it.
