RIP the voice of Roberto, Saegusa and Mondo in Zeta and ZZ, Patrichev in LOGH, Isamu in Gaogaigar, and many many more supporting characters.

I would say I hope this means less Zeta in SRW, but it's not like they aren't already recycling old voiceclips from dead or retired seiyuus for the Mazingetters.

I guess these characters having the same seiyuu explains why both Roberto and Saegusa were killed off. Same reason Emma got killed off in Zeta episode 50.

F, Mondo sounds like a little twerp just like he should. I haven't even watched DBZ but I've heard him here and there in decades of anime.

Nobuyuki Hiyama's comments on Kozo Shioya's passing.
"I just heard the news of the passing of Kozo Shioya.
Even though we were with different agencies, he was a senior who took care of me in all kinds of ways ever since my debut days.
My most vivid memory is, of course,
「The King of Braves GaoGaiGar」
That production truly was an exhausting, wonderful experience. Thank you for everything."
