Joji Yanami played a main role in the Dragon Ball franchise. His career led him to voice several Dragon Ball characters, but he also serves as a narrator. His agency Aoni Production announced that the veteran voice actor passed away on December 3 – the third of December, when he was 90. Nikkan Sports reports that a closed funeral service was held for his family. Aoni Production wrote that it wanted to express its sincere gratitude to Yanami for his kindness in his life. Yanami was born in Tokyo in the 1960s. He was acting like the characters of the Wolf Boy Ken, Osomatsu-kun, Cyborg 009 and the Moomin anime. Since the previous decade, he have worked in other roles such as: Joe, Devilman, Mazinger Z and Cutie Honey. I think of Yanami in upcoming movies like Digimon and Time Bokan as their most famous. In 1986, he was working on the first anime series voicing the Narrator, Dr. Briefs, King, Dr. Frappe and Mousee. For Dragon Ball Z, he would narrate and voice the character Kaio-sama (aka King Kai) and add Bobbidi to his DB voices. In his latest Dragon Ball work, he was voicing Kaio-sama and doing a narration for Dragon Ball Super in 2015. That same year, he acted as a narrative for Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F. Yanami went on extended leave, the roles would be recast, and those performances would be his last, bringing an end to a long legacy of work that spawned over five decades. From when the world’s a whole lot of anime began to become global. He was fantastic because he had a lot of fun in the present-day classic anime. May she rest in peace.
