    Daisuke Gōri (郷里 大輔, Gōri Daisuke) (February 8, 1952 - January 17, 2010) was a popular male veteran seiyū from Tokyo. He was affiliated with Aoni Production. His real name, as well as his former stage name, was Yoshio Nagahori (長堀 芳夫, Nagahori Yoshio).

    He usually played big tough guys, often humorously, and was a perfect fit for Hokuto no Ken.

    Gōri was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus a few years prior to his death and his vision was affected by retinal detachment as a result of the disease.[1] He began complaining that his visual impairment was hurting his job performance; he couldn't read his lines anymore and presumably had trouble watching the video screen during dubbing. "I've become old," he told Kazuhiko Inoue. On January 17, 2010 he committed suicide.
