Voice Actor Shozo Iizuka Dies: Remembering The Voice of Nappa in Dragon Ball Z

The world of Dragon Ball has memorable characters, some more beloved than others by fans of the work created by Akira Oriya, and that acquired feeling is partly due to the voices that gave them in anime format. Related to the subject, it was recently reported that one of the actors of the franchise has unfortunately died. As reported from Japan, Shoo Izuku, who at the time lent Napa unfortunately had health problems, thus ending his life a couple of weeks ago. According to what is said, on February 15 he suffered from heart failure, which led him to have his last moments at 89 years of age. It is worth commenting, which also gave its voice to Android number 8 (better known as Octavio). This and then move on to Napa's character, who was one of the first enemies to defeat the Z Saga. He had a minor participation compared to Veg eta, but today is still far remembered for having killed Piccolo. Something worth highlighting is that he repeated his role in later adaptations of Dragon Ball, since in the game of Z Apart the Taiwan arch is available. But it was not his only work in the world of anime, also participating in projects such as The Seven Deadly Sins, Bleach, Soul Eater and many more adaptations. Via: Comic book Editor's note: It is quite sad that many childhood voices leave, since they give their touch to the characters they interpret. I don't want to imagine in Mexico what will happen when several recognized actors leave this plan.
