Death of Billy Kametz

'''Note: This page is dedicated to Billy Kametz himself who has passed away. May he rest in peace.'''



Billy P. Kametz (March 22, 1987 - June 9, 2022) was an American voice actor known for voicing characters like Josuke Higashikata from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamon is Unbreakable, Naofumi Iwatani from The Rising of the Shield Hero, Naoto Kurogane in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, Takuto Maruki from Persona 5 Royal, Colt from Brawl Stars, Galo Thymos from Promare, Rui from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Ferdinand von Aegir from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

Cause of Death
On April 26 of 2022, Kametz said that he would be taking a hiatus from voice acting and moving back to Hershey, Pennsylvania after being diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. When he was still alive at the time, he created a GoFundMe to cover travel, insurance costs, medical bills not covered by insurance, and everyday life needs due to his condition.

During his time alive, Official ATLUS West made a Tweet that wanted Billy to get well soon with a special artwork due to his role as Dr. Maruki from the Persona franchise. He was really confident with the amount of support he is getting during that time. Sadly though, he has died at age 35 from the same cancer he was diagnosed with on June 9, 2022.
