6	Chikao Ohtsuka (大塚周夫) (July 5, 1929 - January 15, 2015, aged 86) was one of the oldest and veteran voice actor in the business, with his last name also being spelt as "Ootsuka" depending on the romaji. He was Creator/AkioOtsuka's father, and they've worked together in several series, making them a rare father-son pair working in tandem in the business. He was the signature voice of Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik in the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games. His forte was mostly old, past-their-prime men, which could range from CoolOldGuy or EvilOldFolks; the latter can be raised up to eleven to monstrosity levels (he even dubbed [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]] in Film/{{Downfall}}!).

Creator/KikukoInoue, Creator/MayumiTanaka, Creator/HiroakiHirata, Creator/MasakazuMorita, Creator/KoichiYamadera and Creator/RieTanaka were among the attendees at his funeral. May he rest in peace.
