He's the character who has officially been in the most different anime series.

Glad to hear he's okay.

Woah, I didn't even hear he'd had a heart attack! He's the only person in anime I have an autograph from. On (the wrong) Lupin III DVD. A friend got it for me at a con I couldn't attend. He drew a doodle of himself holding a badly-drawn P-38. He actually felt the need to label it "P-38". Glad he's doing ok.

So glad he didn't join ranks of all the other celebrities that have passed away over the last week.

Soon comes the stream of people who think it's Shinichiro Watanabe.

Get better, Nabeshin!

I hope he gets better soon!

I have met him in person at conventions and he is a really nice and funny guy. I'm glad there doesn't seem to be in long term damage. (at least from the information we have.)

I'm so glad he's okay! I got to meet him in 2009 at Anime Detour and he's a sweetheart.

I'm glad he's alright, and I wish him a full recovery. Nabeshin has given me many laughs and hours of enjoyment. The least I can do is wish him that.

You must have missed the news about Misses Thatcher. I imagine she was a famous person. I wonder what she would have thought about anime, the same she did about the Video Nasties? Her policies couldn't have been friendly toward it, but luckily the western expansion didn't happen until she was removed.

Sad to hear about Nabeshin, is he a smoker like most of Japan?

I hadn't heard that. As a horror fan who's looked into the Video Nasties stuff a lot, I never liked her, but of course, I'm not HAPPY to hear of her death, either, that would be monstrous.

Oh man, are you serious? I'm glad to hear that he's ok. While I can say I hope it wasn't too serious, heart attacks are always a serious matter mainly due to the fact of some health issues. Mind you once people start having them they're sometimes not the same. But I'm glad to hear that he's ok.

Hey, Nabeshin stay strong and remember "Afros are #1!"
