RIP.
But this was the JAPANESE voice actor; how can so many of you fall in love with someone who you probably haven't even heard if you played the English version of games or anime.

Some of us did watch the Japanese version of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z before it was ever dubbed, you know.

That's great to be able to understand Japanese; Something I doubt a lot of people here can do.
