Death
On May 9, 2000, at 4pm, Shiozawa fell down the stairs of his home in Shinjuku, Tokyo, claiming that there were no injuries found on him, he insisted that he was fine. 6 hours later, at 10pm, Shiozawa's body condition suddenly changed, he collapsed and was rushed to the Tokyo Medical University Hospital; he died of a cerebral contusion at 12am on May 10, at the age of 46. Fellow voice actor Hidekatsu Shibata was one of the attendees at his funeral. Shiozawa's ongoing roles were replaced by other voice actors after his death.
Hikaru Midorikawa said, "Kaneto Shiozawa was my hero."
Due to his death, two of the characters he played (Zato-1 from Guilty Gear and Hyo from Rival Schools) were killed off in-universe. Zato-1 was replaced by the shadow parasite Eddie (voiced by Takehito Koyasu), who took over Zato's body following his death until Guilty Gear Xrd.
