I'm sad to report that retired veteran voice actor Kiyoshi Kobayashi has passed away on July 30th, 2022 at the age of 89 due to pneumonia.
From 1958 to 2021, 63 years active as an actor for Television and voice over, he's been in Gundam, detective conan, space cobra, a handful of Tokusatsu series like karmen rider black, has narrated countless shows and anime like 2016s "haven't you heard, I'm Sakamoto", the japanese dub voice of james coburn and clint eastwood for several films starting these famous western actors and last but not least, 50 years as the voice of jigen daisuke from a franchise alot of us hold dear.
Rest well Kobayashi-san, happy to think he's reunited with his loved ones and old pals...
One of three edits I made of Lupin’s initial encounter with Kyousuke Mamo from the Part 1 anime, this one basing it off of Paul’s performance as Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts
