OMG! As a KH fan this hurts so much. Wakayama's performance as Ansem The Wise was so amazing. My favorite line from him comes from the Birth by Sleep Japanese commercial that begins with the iconic PSP logo with the *do do* sound then with him saying "Subete wa nemuri kara umareru" then Hikari starts playing. That was my favorite BBS commercial and I would rewatch every night until the game released.

His last KH role was in Melody of Memory. I'm going to be rewatching that scene a lot now.

Thank you, Wakayama. RIP

He also voiced the other John Silver in the Japanese dub of Disney's Treasure Planet, not to mention the announcer in the very first Captain Tsubasa anime TV series.
