Voice acting agency Mausu Promotion announced on Tuesday that voice actor Tamio Ohki passed away on December 14 while being treated for an unspecified illness.
Ohki is perhaps best known for voicing Chief Aramaki in both of Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence films.
He made his debut in voice acting in anime with the 1968 Kyojin no Hoshi series, voicing the character Shigeru Suzuhara.
He most recently voiced the titular Hoshi no Hito from the planetarian: Hoshi no Hito anime.
