Yamaguchi was hospitalized due to a torn shoulder
Voice actor Kappei Yamaguchi revealed in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Thursday that he was hospitalized due to a torn shoulder and was scheduled for surgery on Friday. In his next post, Yamaguchi explained that he had been lifting too much and tore his shoulder, and because it was an area of the shoulder that did not heal naturally, he had to have surgery. Yamaguchi also thanked everyone who sent him messages wishing him well. In a post on Sunday, Yamaguchi posted a photo of himself in the hospital with his arm in a cast.
