Gouri Daisuke, the voice of Heihachi from Tekken, has passed away. According to reports from Chunichi Web (via Versus City), the Japanese voice actor was found in the streets of Nakano-ku yesterday, where he bled to death from a wound on his arm. A knife and written will were found near the body, leading the authorities to believe this was a suicide.

The 57-year-old actor was best known for his work on Tekken, as well as for several parts in the Kinnikuman and Dragon Ball television series. He’d been in the voice acting business for decades now, with credits in everything from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.

Our hearts go out to the friends and family of the deceased.
