Anime World Offers Condolences After Voice Actor Takaya Hashi's Passing, Part II

We are sad to announce Takaya Hashi-san, who played Gustav Honda in Fire Force, has passed away.
We offer our deepest condolences and pray for his soul to rest in peace.

Hashi-san, ever since I was little, whenever we met, you would always ask how I was doing, and I was so happy every time I saw you.
I loved your playful side.
Thank you for all your hard work, Hashi-san!
Please get plenty of rest.

When I was a rookie…
There was an incident that made me consider quitting voice acting.
Hashi-san saved me from that predicament.
Even now, more than 20 years later, he still hasn't forgotten about me and cares about me... I can't imagine how much his kindness has saved me.
I was looking forward to going hiking with him again... but it's too soon.
I will always love him.

Hashi-san
When I called out "Toki-nii-san!" you elegantly ignored me…
I'll never forget how when I called out "Lord Amiba!" you replied "Wha-aat?"
And in the play too.
Still waters overcome the raging torrent.
Strong fists alone aren't everything in a fight.
That's what I learned from you.
Thank you very much.

I can't sleep…
Hashi-san, Hashi-san, it's Romi Park.
It's too soon…
Hashi-san, Hashi-san, did I properly tell you how much I love you?
It's so sudden…
I'm still at a loss for words…

Those were blunt yet warm words I received during a difficult time. I've recalled them countless times since then, constantly reminding myself of them. I was so happy when you sent me a DM saying, "I've been following your Instagram, and your photos of flowers and greenery are so beautiful." We recently worked together on set for the first time in a while, and I decided to go up and say hello. I never imagined that our conversation would be our last.
Hashi-san, thank you so much for all you've done for me. Thank you for your cool back and warm gaze. May you rest in peace.

I'm sorry for publicly saying this.
On my first starring role, you had the coolest voice of anyone, perfectly embodying the series. You were also playful, and you agreed to do a radio show about the series because you wanted to talk to me. You remembered me even after 10 years, and I was so happy to hear your words as you left.
I wish I had been able to speak with pride. I truly respect you.
Thank you so much, Hashi-san.

Hashi-san,
Though I had many opportunities to work with you since I was a rookie, I assumed you wouldn't remember someone like me without a named role. But when I finally got to co-star with you in a main role for the first time, I greeted you again and you said, "You've become quite the star," in a gentle voice that was far removed from the character you were playing. I remember feeling so happy that my whole body heated up.
Even after that, you would always express your concern for me, saying things like, "Don't overwork yourself by being too busy," and "It's okay to just take it easy," and you would celebrate milestones in my life, saying things like, "Congratulations on your marriage," and "That Kaji is a father now, huh?" Every time we met, you would ask me, "How old is your child?" and when I showed you pictures of my daughter, you would say, with the warmest smile, "She's so cute!" I not only respected you greatly as a senpai actor, but I also somehow felt a sense of closeness to you, like a relative.
I miss you so much now. Hashi-san, your presence. I'll never forget it. It will remain engraved in my heart and mind forever. Please get some rest. Thank you so much for all your hard work! You were super cool! I love you!

I received some shocking news.
Whenever we met, he would always greet me with that deep voice, "Hey, Yuko, how are you?" I felt relieved every time I met him. Another one of my favorite senpai has passed away.
He was also Mimura's lover [in Tanoshii Moomin Ikka], a police officer👮‍♀️.
I'm so sad 😢 Hashi-san
