A very high profile voice actor, best known for his roles in Sazae-san, Ranma, etc.
It's quite ironic that his last roles are Netero from HxH and the old Ramen Guy from the second Space Dandy episode.
He will be missed.

There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me
