Gouri Daisuke was a Japanese voice actor that seemed to specialize in fighting game voices. You've heard his work in games like Tekken (Mishima Heihachi), Soulcalibur (Edgemaster), Dead or Alive (Bass) and much more. His work also extended into the anime realm, where he was best known for Dragon Ball work.
He was found dead on the street in Nanako, Japan around 3 p.m. yesterday. He died of extensive loss of blood from his arm, and authorities are treating this as a suicide. A knife and a written will were found nearby.
We can honestly say that videogames won't be the same without him.
Gouri Daisuke found dead at 57 [Versus City]

My game design class played tekken y6 all afternoon.
The actual fact its a suicide makes it worse, I have felt the same emotions that can drive someone there. I'll miss his voice.

Although, Jim, there's a vacancy for a VA position. Hop to it.
Jim can probably match his Heihachi.
This news was kind of a bummer. This comment cracked me up.
Indeed a very distinct and memorable voice. RIP
I think @Sinow Wolf is right! FACK CHU HOLYWOOD!!11111!!!
He's not really dead. He will show up later as an unlockable character. You'll see.
