Kaneto Shiozawa
Toshikazu Shiozawa (塩沢 敏一, Shiozawa Toshikazu, Thursday, January 28, 1954 – Wednesday, May 10, 2000), better known by the stage name Kaneto Shiozawa (塩沢 兼人, Shiozawa Kaneto), was a Japanese voice actor from Tokyo. At the time of his death, he was attached to Aoni Production. He had a distinctive cold, calm, aristocratic-sounding voice, which often typecast him as villainous or anti-heroic strategists and intellectuals. His stage name originated from the Japanese director Kaneto Shindō.
Life and career
Shiozawa yearned to be a performer since his childhood. He graduated from Nihon University Second Senior High School, where he learned to perform in its art department. On May 9, 2000, at 4:00 pm, Shiozawa fell down the stairway of his home in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Despite saying that "I'm all right" (大丈夫だ, Daijōbu da), Shiozawa's condition changed at 10:00 pm that day. He fell unconscious and was rushed to the Tokyo Medical University Hospital; he died of a cerebral contusion at 12:54 am on May 10. He was 46 years old at the time of his death. Fellow voice actor Hidekatsu Shibata was one of the attendees at his funeral. Shiozawa's ongoing roles were replaced with other voice actors after his death.
