I knew he looked familiar. He played Watari in the first 3 Death Note LA movies. Damn, my condolences to his family.

When I saw the article photography, I wondered why this news was published on an anime website: I only knew him from the Death Note live adaptation. No wonder, because he is actually more an actor than a seiyû. (I checked his roles)

By the way, I wonder how he ended up playing in Kuro shitsuji)

I have yet to see his work, Black Butler more precisely, but it has to be said that for him to be working as a VA at such a age, he really enjoyed what he was doing, so it is kinda sad he died. RIP
