I saw this news on UltramanLah! just now, and I am both shocked and saddened.
Shinsuke Achiha, who played Ultra Garrison member Soga on
Ultra Seven has been found dead in a historic waterfall in Kagoshima. Police in Japan believe it to be a suicide. He was 67 years old.
Rest in Peace, Soga.

That's very sad. Soga was always my favorite member of the Ultra Garrison. Rest in peace Shinsuke Achiha.
