It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Unsho Ishizuka, who has died of esophageal cancer at age 67. Ishizuka played many roles in his life; notably the voice of the narrator and Professor Oak in the Japanese version of Pokémon since it began in 1997. Other roles include the voice of Hercule Satan in Dragon Ball and Heihachi Mishima in the Tekken series.
As a longtime fan of the series, I wish the best for Ishizuka’s family; friends and coworkers at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
