[griffin]

For those who have watched the Japanese Gen1 cartoon, or any of his other works - Seizo Kato, the voice of Gen1 Megatron and Galvatron in Japan, has died after suffering from bladder cancer (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/rip-seizo-kato-1927-2014-179091/). He was 86.

A sad day indeed.
Hasui's tweet on the 17th was a fitting homage.
RIP

This is a sad day. I always loved him as Galvatron in the Japanese. RIP.

If they make a new MP Megatron, it would be truly honorable to dedicate it to Seizo.

Agreed; if there was anything that would give the engineers reason to want to do another one, I think it would definitely be to honour his memory. :)
