Description For those of you who don't know, Mako (who is the voice actor for Iroh and Aku) recently died of cancer. So I made a tribute to him.

I gotta tell you, Mako's death really makes me SAD. I'm glum just typing about it. But, everybody's gotta make a trip to the Spirit World sometime or another. HOWEVER, I grimace at all the people who are saying "Mako died and now Iroh should too". Mako is NOT Iroh, and just because you feel squeamish about somebody coming in to replace him as voiceactor doesn't mean Iroh should just fall off a cliff. Iroh deserves to live, dammit. He still has an important role to play.

Even if he kinda has larengitis right now. :/

I always feel all sad and yet warm inside when ever I watch Iroh's Tales of Ba Sing Se episode. The tribute they give to him is beautiful.

He died before they got to start at book 3 in ATLA. I thought too that it was the same one but I got curious and looked it up. Mako lives on in our memories

Well, given recent developments, it seems that fate is not without a sense of irony.

in the crystal cave episode, when uncle, toph, aang and sokka interrogate this guy, he sounds the EXACT same as samurai jack. i think it WAS him! i just thought it was awesome that both of them were in the same episode!

TheCerealKiller95 [2012-07-05 19:38:42 +0000 UTC]

Yes, they did call him Mako, to keep the him in memory, which is pretty sweet, but really sad I didn't know that he died because of cancer, which made me kinda depressed right now. And Dante, who voiced Zuko, voices General Iroh in LoK, too

He DIED? That's so sad! Oh my gosh I had no idea! I can't even... I'm going to go make him a shrine now.
It is really nice of them to name the new LoK character after him, though. I wish other people cared enough to do something for a deceased person.

That's very sad I'm pretty sure that's who 'Mako' was named after in 'The Legend of Korra'. I feel like that is truly the best name for this character to pay as tribute for the loss of the real Mako. Rest in Peace, Mako.

Forget what I said earlier. It's not just ironic. The new firebender was named FOR the same Mako that voiced Iroh.

Chibi-Beilschmidt In reply to Monkeygal321 [2012-04-24 01:28:24 +0000 UTC]

Mako was also the name of Iroh's dead son, which is what I thought this was about at first.
