This is a sad news to Dragonball fans who watched the show in Japanese. Bulma's voice actress Hiromi Tsuru just died today at age 57.
She lost consciousness while driving which leads to her death. She died of Cardiact dissection.
You may Say Bulma is not that important character because she is a non combat character but she is important to Dragonball. On the Show she invented the Dragon Radar which they used for collecting Dragonballs, She baby sitted Goku into the man he was today, She is Vegeta's wife, She is Trunk's mother, She is the one who invented the time machine which is a major plot of the show. She is the reason Why Beerus don't want to destroy the world anymore.
I watched Dragonball and Dragonball Z in Filipino English dubbed and Tagalog Dubbed but I watched Dragonball Super in Japanese dub. So Hiromi did
To the people who watched the live action Japanese Superhero show Shaider, She is one of the Gyaru army/Amazonas villains.
Her voice had been a part of childhoods of many people for 31 years. I know they will recast her and replace her but there is only one Bulma. I hope the next voice actress to voice Bulma will take the role with pride and continue her legacy.
I just realized most voice actors in Dragonball are either middle aged to elderly. I hope the remaining voice actors will live longer for the series's sake.
Her death is like Clarence Nash's death to Americans. Clarence voiced Donald Duck.

I think people who didn't watch Dragonball in Japanese dub wont realize is that if the Japanese dub didn't succeed it wont make it outside Japan. So they wont enjoy the version they enjoyed without her.

@shaqziad1610 Well, Goku,Gohan,Goten, Goku black and fortune teller Baba are voiced By the same actress. Masako Nozawa. Women have more range in voice acting.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Videl is Gohan's girlfriend, am I right? Won't it be weird to have two character with the same voice? Unless the VA have versatile voice range, in which case the voice won't sound similar like what Daisuke Namikawa did.

Not a fan of DragonBall Z but prayers are going out to Hiromi Tsuru and to the family and loved ones she left behind.
