CATDOLL: Kazuya Tatebe, the original voice actor of "Doraemon" Fat Tiger, has passed away

Speaking of Takeshi Gouda (also known as Fat Tiger) in Doraemon, the most memorable character for anime fans is the villain who bullied Nobita Nobi, but he became everyone's most reliable partner in times of crisis. Unfortunately, the voice actor of the first Fat Tiger, Kazuya Tatekabe, died of acute respiratory failure in Tokyo on June 18 at the age of 80. He was a senior male voice actor in Japan. He served as the voice actor of Takeshi Gouda in the TV Asahi version of Doraemon for 26 years from April 1979 to May 2005. After resigning, he was replaced by Subaru Kimura.

It is worth mentioning that he also played the role of A Tai in the second season of "About Not Understanding What My Husband Is Saying" this year. He is truly a voice actor worthy of respect.
