Voice actress Yuko Mizutani passed away from breast cancer on Tuesday, May 17th at the age of 51.
Mizutani has a long record of roles across anime and video games, however, she is well-known to us for her role of Iris, Zero's pacifistic sweetheart, in Mega Man X4. Mizutani would later reprise the role in 2012's Project X Zone.
On behalf of the Mega Man community I would like to give her friends, family and fans my best wishes. Rest in peace.

WHAT AMA FIGHTING 4'A?!?!
ReplyDeleteCancer sucks. R.I.P., Yuko.
ReplyDeleteI knew her for more than just Iris but yeah, this hurts, it's such a shame.
ReplyDeleteWE MUST KILL CANCER> Its pure evil, really!
ReplyDeleteNow we all truly feel Zero's pain. :(
ReplyDeleteShe had an awesome career R.I.P. Mizutani Yūko. You won't be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteMay she rest in peace. My condolences to her family and friends.
ReplyDeleteThat. Sucks.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sure there's an all-too-obvious (and maybe inappropriate) joke in there somewhere, but I ain't gonna be the one to say it.
Rest in peace, Lady Mizutani.
May you rest in peace Yuko :( (No "screaming zero" pun intended)
ReplyDeleteDamn it. Another cancer victim. She had few lines in X4, but she was still a very good voice actress from what I could translate from her script. We lost Tekkaman Rapier. At least she's no longer suffering. To think that just a few years ago, she and Ryotaro Okiayu had parts and interacted in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.
