RIP voice actor Kirby Morrow

As reported by The Wrap, actor Kirby Morrow – whose list of vocal credits is truly astounding – has passed away. No cause of death has been given, but a Morrow rep has confirmed the news. Among his long list of credits, there are some memorable passages about the English dubbing of Wing of Gundam and Inuyasha, where he played the soft-spoken pilot Trowa Barton and the playful and spooky traveler monk Miroku (respectively), as well as appearances as Goku in the final episodes of the original dub of “Ocean” from Dragon ball z. He also had a recurring role as Dave Kleinman on Stargate Atlantis and recently reprized his role as Miroku in the Inuyasha suite series Yashahime: half-demon princess. Morrow was 47 years old.

Stargate fansite Door world was one of the first to break 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 prospered through all your life and your friendship. ” Viz Media, the publisher behind Inuyasha, posted on Twitter that Morrow was an “incredible talent” and that the studio was “honored to work with him.”

Morrow also played Cole throughout the Lego Ninjago series, Anakin Skywalker in some Lego Star Wars projects, Cyclops in X-Men: evolution, Tony Stark in Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk and Eternal, Billy Katagiri in Gundam 00, Hot Shot on Transformers: Cybertron, Van in the Ocean dub by Escaflowne and Rey Za Burel in Fate of the Gundam Seed. He also appeared on The arrow and Super girl, and wrote and directed a comedy short called Boxing Day Classic. This, again, adds up to some truly iconic and unforgettable performances in Inuyasha and Wing of Gundam, with his stoic Trowa voice perhaps capturing GundamThe core message of the misery of war better than any other player in the entire decades-long franchise.

Friends and colleagues at Morrow took to social media to express their condolences.
