October 04, 2024 Notice of Change of Voice Actor for Yamcha
Toru Furuya, who has played the role of Yamcha in the "Dragon Ball" series for a long time, will be replaced by another voice actor.
Here we announce that he will be replaced by Yoshiaki Suzuki starting with the first episode of "Dragon Ball DAIMA" on October 11, 2024.
However, in May of this year Furuya, who’s been married to his second wife since 1985, admitted to having been in a four-and-a-half-year extramarital affair with a fan. He also admitted to having struck the woman, and also pressuring her to get an abortion after she became pregnant with his child.
