There is once again sad news in the Japanese animation industry: the famous voice actor Mr. Yasuo Muramatsu passed away on April 11 at the age of 91. This voice actor has not only voiced characters in many well-known anime, but also won the love and respect of countless audiences with his excellent voice and acting talent. His office confirmed the bad news.
Mr. Yasuo Muramatsu has voiced many characters such as Tom in "One Piece", Nobita's uncle Nobi Shinro in "Doraemon", Pisko in "Detective Conan", and Stan Field in "Strange Doctor Black Jack".
He is also an out-and-out industry veteran, who founded and served as the director of Office Kaoru, and actively cultivated and taught voice actors to the next generation, and made outstanding contributions to the development of the Japanese animation industry.
When announcing the event, Office Kaoru said that Mr. Yasuo Muramatsu's farewell ceremony had been held recently, and he thanked everyone for their support and love over the years. They also expressed their reluctance to accept condolences or other gifts, and I hope everyone understands.
After the news of Yasuo Muramatsu's death came out, netizens posted messages to mourn "go all the way".
On the 8th of last month, the news of the sudden death of Akira Toriyama, a well-known Japanese cartoonist and known as the "father of Dragon Ball", died at the age of 68, which caused mourning among netizens for a while.
It is reported that Akira Toriyama died of a sudden acute subdural hematoma on March 1, and his funeral was not open to the public, and only his close relatives attended.
Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball series has brought endless fun to generations of childhood, and his life is also talked about, especially his title as a "lazy manga artist".
Shortly after Akira Toriyama's death, TARAKI, the voice actor of Maruko Ren in the classic anime "Cherry Maruko", died suddenly at the age of 63.
The reason for his death has not been announced, but his funeral was as low-key as Akira Toriyama's, and only close relatives attended his funeral. As a god-level figure in the Japanese animation industry, the funeral was held so low-key.
It is worth mentioning that TARKO debuted more than 40 years ago, and after serving as the voice actor of "Maruko", his voice has been engraved in the minds of thousands of viewers. BUT TARAKO HAS NOT DISCLOSED HIS REAL NAME, AND HE KEEPS A LOW PROFILE.
In the Japanese anime industry, voice actors often appear in a low-key manner, and there are a number of deep-seated reasons behind this. First of all, voice actors are not as highly valued in the Japanese anime industry as they are in other countries.
While they are an integral part of anime productions, their identity is often seen as a voice in the service of the characters, rather than independent artists. As a result, they often choose to keep a low profile to avoid the possible negative effects of overexposure.
Yasuo Muramatsu also dubbed a number of classic anime, and eventually left the scene in a low-key manner. The passing of Mr. Yasuo Muramatsu has made the entire anime industry feel a deep sorrow. His voice will forever remain in the animation works and become an indelible memory in the hearts of countless audiences. May he continue to enjoy the magic of sound in another world, and be remembered and admired forever.
