As reported by The Wrap, actor Kirby Morrow—whose list of voice credits is truly staggering—has died. No cause of death has been given, but a representative for Morrow did confirm the news. Among his lengthy of list of credits are memorable runs on the English dubs of Gundam Wing and Inuyasha, where he played the soft-spoken pilot Trowa Barton and the playfully creepy traveling monk Miroku (respectively), as well as appearances as Goku in the later episodes of the original “Ocean” dub of Dragon Ball Z. He also had a recurring role as Dave Kleinman on Stargate Atlantis and recently reprised his role as Miroku in the Inuyasha sequel series Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon. Morrow was 47.
Stargate fansite Gate World was one of the first to report the news, saying that Morrow’s brother Casey announced Morrow’s death on Facebook with a note saying he was a “blessed and talented individual who brought joy to so many but also thrived off all your live and friendship.” Viz Media, the publisher behind Inuyasha, posted on Twitter that Morrow was an “amazing talent” and that the studio was “honored to work with him.”
