Takeshi Aono (青野 武 Aono Takeshi, June 19, 1936 – April 9, 2012) was a Japanese voice actor and actor from Asahikawa, Hokkaidō. He was attached to Aoni Production at the time of his death. He graduated from Hokkaidō Asahikawa Higashi High School.
Career
Aono was most known for the roles of Shiro Sanada (Space Battleship Yamato), Rihaku (Fist of the North Star), Nurarihyon (GeGeGe no Kitaro), Piccolo Daimao and Kami-sama (Dragon Ball), Kumahachi Kumada (Kiteretsu Daihyakka), Dakuan (Ninja Scroll), Deathsaurus (Transformers: Victory), Jinpachi Mishima (Demon form) (Tekken 5/Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection) and Tomozō Sakura (Chibi Maruko-chan). Aono was also known to appear in the first ten One Piece movies. He is also known to gamers as the voice of the diabolical Dr. Wily in the PlayStation-era Mega Man games, and Colonel Roy Campbell of the Metal Gear Solid games.
Health problems and death
In May 2010, Aono checked into a hospital for an aortic dissection and suffered a stroke shortly thereafter, thus ending his career as a voice actor.[1] His ongoing roles were replaced with other voice actors.
On the afternoon of April 9, 2012, at approximately 4:38 pm, Aono suffered a bout of post-operative multiple cerebral infractions and was found dead.[2] Voice actress Eiko Hisamura announced Aono's death via her Twitter feed, and Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima stated via his Twitter that Roy Campbell will never appear in any future Metal Gear games out of respect for Aono. Aono was 75 years old at the time of his death.[3]
