I will miss him because he did voice some pretty iconic Kamen Rider monsters. He sure had a great legacy.

Sadly, we are probably going to see a lot of the 60s and 70s Toku voice actors pass on more frequently these days. :-( Still saddened over Tohoru Ohira from last year.

I was hoping that he voice Spider-Man one more time in the Kamen Rider series.

He was the Japanese voice dub for Mick in all the Rocky movies.
