First Unshou Ishizuka, and now Gotou falls victim to esophageal cancer. Fuck you cancer!

I didn't recognize him until I saw that he voiced the Red Troll in Yuki no Joou who is a character with a somewhat high-pitched voice. I'm surprised that a man like Gotou was able to voice a character like that. Thank you for your contribution to the anime industry. Rest in Peace.
