Kaneto Shiozawa
Kaneto Shiozawa was once the go-to guy for soft-spoken Bishonen roles. If you notice any character that was voiced by him, chances are they might have a sudden change in composure at times. Yep, he can also flip his voice into crazy mode on a whim.
Sadly, in 2000 his career was cut short when he fell down the stairs in his home and died hours later of a severe concussion.
