| That's sudden. RIP. |
 |
| Nooooo not Captain Tylor 8(. |
  |
| Damn 53 is not that old,R.I.P |
| At a mere 53, he was taken too soon from us. Requiescat in pace. Commiseration towards his widow Kumiko Watanabe, whom has quite an extensive repertoire. |

| RIP Sir your voice in Inuyasha as Miroku will always remain in our hearts. |
 |
| I already knew of this yesterday, but it's still very sad. He will always be Solomon from Blood+ to me. Very heartbreaking he died so suddenly, especially when he was voicing the father of the main character in Kokkoku at the beginning of the year. May his soul rest in peace. |
 |
| Oh my, pretty shocking to see one of the VA from my favorite anime characters list dies. R.I.P. |
| . |
| Had such a cool voice, RIP |
| No! Not Miroku... RIP |
 |
| Seabook, now that was a good VA. This is becoming all too common. |
 |
| He voiced one of my favourite characters of all time...RIP You will be remembered forever.. |

| This is so tragic... he was only 53. :( May he be at peace, God bless his loved ones. We lost one of the best voice actors, but they lost a father/husband/friend. |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| Who will voice Miroku now after his death when Inuyasha anime gets reboot in the near future. R.I.P. |
 |
| Miroku and Tylor are such emblematic roles, it's a shame he had to die so young. May he rest in peace. |
 |
| Miroku :c He was taken from us WAY too young...RIP. |
 |
Justy Ueki Tylor from the Musekinin Kanchou Tylor series Fuck, I didn't think I'd ever tear up from a VA dying :( |
| What dimension am I living in?! Where Tsujitani Koji dies? And I'm actually upset because it's such a harsh reality where a stroke can suddenly take someone. I'm still upset! Thanks Buddha. Goofs like Miroku and Tylor, BL characters, pieces of crap (Dewey! Maybe not the movie), handsome men of different kinds, and...KINCAID NAU! Also a teacher and a director. |

Tsujitani never worked as a teacher, he just worked as a sound director. |
|
I may have to double check but I think he was a seiyu tutor/teacher as well? because he was a sound director, he had to interact with casting. |

 Miroku, the man of culture |
 |
| I didn’t know he was the one who voiced miroku from inuyasha. Another one bites the dust. |
  |
| Starting from second movie of Eureka Seven, Dewey Novak will be replaced by Keiji Fujiwara https://twitter.com/EUREKA_HI_EVO/status/1057105107492327424 |
