That's some pretty sad news.He did some great stuff over the years, and the way he portrayed Raoh's spoiler[death scene] in Fist of North Star stands the test of time as one of the most awesome moments in anime history.

May he rest in peace.

"Waga shougai ni ippen no kuinashi!"

The line that could've not been said any better. Another legendary VA passes. He did have that unique voice. I will miss him.

My first thought was, "Shenron!" Awful news.

R.I.P., Utsumi-san. We never forget what he's done. He was supposed to voice Todoroki-sensei in the "Silver Spoon", isn't it?

The news has been going around for a few hours now. R.I.P. to a legend.

It's also notable that he was the founder of the seiyuu agency Ken Production. (The "Ken" is taken from his name.)

He was also Shenron, Recoome, Tournament Announcer, and Lord Slug in Japanese DB. Sad Very sad news, and this only came one day after (part of) Dr. Slump was FINALLY licensed here...

Rest in peace, I'll always remenber him for his role as Armstrong from FMA. I was glad he repraised the role for the Brotherhood series.
