The celebrated Japanese voice actor, Chikao Otsuka has passed away at the age of 85 due to Ischemic Heart Disorder. Chikao Otsuka has voiced both anime and video games.

Otsuka was the third known voice actor to play as Dr. Eggman (in 1998's Sonic Adventure). In his repertoire voices in games, Otsuka has played as Maxwell in Tales of Xillia (as well as its sequel),  Master Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts and as Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Chikao Otsuka is survived by his son Akio Ohtsuka, who is the voice actor of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid franchise.

I leave with with Big Boss' final scene in Metal Gear Solid 4. I couldn't find the Japanese version, if you can locate a quality video I will swap them out.
