Here.And here.Mako Iwamatsu, better known as Mako, the voice of Aku on Samurai Jack and Uncle Iroh on Avatar: The Last Airbender, died of cancer last Friday. Just prior to his death, he had been confirmed for the role of Splinter in the CG movie version of TMNT. He will be sorely missed. I loved his voice, it was distinctive and was what defined Aku. May he rest in peace.

 he gave Aku such a awesome voice, at least Samurai Jack is dead so we won't have to suffer some lame sound alike.

Wha...oh no.
I hate it when they have to change VAs mid-show. This is going to be...odd.

Aww, it's sad that he was all set up to do certain voices for things and stuff. RIP |

I could say something in response about Avatar which made me assume that he was not talking about it, but Thumper compels me to silence.
