RIP Iizuka Shouzou

Iizuka Shouzou, likely know to most Dragon Ball fans as Nappa from the 1989 Dragon Ball Z animated series, has passed away of acute heart failure at the age of 89.

Alway a unpleasant experience when a family member dies. I hope his family is doing well.

R.i.P I remember my first time watching DBZ in Japanese one of my first thoughts was damn Nappa's Japanese voice is really cool

While 89 is pretty fulfilling age, it is still sad to see people go away

Damn, another legend lost, but 89 is a magnificent age. I'm sure Iizuka Shouzou must have had a wealth of memories, both good and bad, but most of all he gave us Nappa and #8. RIP.

While 89 is a good run, it's always sad to lose another person associated with the franchise, especially someone who played such a memorable villain. My thoughts are with his family and friends and I hope he rests in peace.

Wasn't he already replaced in GT and the video games?

I looked up the anime shows he has worked in in his career. Besides DBZ, I have watched a few other anime series he has done. I didn't know/realize he was Baraggan in Bleach until now. I think that is his best known character besides Nappa.

My polish friend told me about it.
Que descance en Paz, which is spanish for Rest in peace.

He was a natural at playing brutish characters, much like Takeshi Watabe, whom often played his rival.

May he rest in peace.

Kanzenshuu
