    Some cast members are still with us.

    Who exactly? Akira Takarada?

    Hmm, according to Wikipedia he is still with us.

    You can all imagine how saddened I was by this.

    I got to meet him many years ago at G-Fest. I still have the poster he and Ken Satsuma signed for me. I’ll never forget it.

    Rest well.
