[Dogasu]

Anime News Network reports:

The Tokyo Shimbun paper reports that Daisuke Gouri, the voice actor best known for playing Robin Mask in the Kinnikuman television anime series as well as Umigame and Mr. Satan in the Dragon Ball franchise, has passed away in Tokyo on Sunday. He was 57.

The newspaper reports that Gouri was discovered, with blood dripping from his arm, by a passerby on a street in Nakano ward. Police officers at Nakano station are investigating his death as a possible suicide. According to the authorities, Gouri apparently collapsed face-down onto the street at about 3:00 p.m. The newspaper adds that a knife or similar object was found nearby along with a last will.

Gouri Daisuke did the voice of Miyuki (Rory) in the Jouto episode "Dig Here Urimoo! Search for the Hot Spring!!" ("Spring Fever"). He may not have made the biggest contribution to the franchise, but a loss is a loss regardless of how much or how little he appeared in the series.

Another Dragon Ball seiyuu gone, it seems. first Muten Roshi's seiyuu passed away while DBZ was still airing, then Tenshinhan's original seiyuu passed away (who, ironically, was voiced by the same guy who voiced Sakaki [Giovanni] for the Pokemon series), and now Mr. Sataan's seiyuu has passed away.
