 Various news reports have reported that seiyuu Kinryuu Arimoto died at dinner time on February 1 in an hospital in Tokyo, Japan. His cause of death was due to esophageal cancer. He was 78 years old. A funeral was already held among the family.Arimoto is famous for voicing Newgate Edward from the One Piece series. He also voiced Tomomi Masaoka from the Psycho-Pass series and Eddie Jay from the Uchuu Kyoudai series, to name a few. He also dubbed Christopher Walken's roles and was also active as a stage actor. His name actually reads as Yoshitaka, but the Kanji was deemed hard to read so he changed it to Kinryuu while active in the entertainment field. Source: Nikkan Sports |

| His gruffy voice so memorable. Be it in Kill la Kill, FMA (both versions), One Piece, Psycho-Pass, his voice, and the characters he voiced, were appealing and well done. Such a loss. |
