Voice actor Taiki Matsuno has passed away on Wednesday, June 26th, 2024, due to cerebral hemmorrhage. He was 56.
To us in the tokusatsu fandom he was probably best known as the tsuika senshi of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger, Tenku Ninja Shurikenger, among his many roles throughout the genre where he primarily played villains. Apart from tokusatsu he was mostly known in the realm of anime as the titular Hajime Kindaichi of the Kindaichi Case Files, Jun Manjome/Chazz Princeton in Yugioh GX, Agumon specifically in Digimon Savers/Data Squad, and the Japanese voice of Spongebob Squarepants. He will surely be missed.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Matsuno, and thank you for all the characters that you've performed.
