RIP Tatsuo Umemiya
Japanese actor Tatsuo Umemiya died Dec. 12. He had been being treated for several different cancers. He was 81. MSTies will remember his performance in the title role of the movie in episode 816- PRINCE OF SPACE. UPDATE: He died of kidney failure at a hospital near Tokyo. The only news story we have so far is in Japanese. Google translates it as well as it can. Thanks to Tim for the heads up. 10 Replies to “RIP Tatsuo Umemiya”Commenting at Satellite News

We do not like this very much. Our world is duller now, without Prince of Space. RIP, Mr. Umemiya, and thank you.
Weapons may have been ineffective, but time takes its toll on all of us
Wait, he died of cancer? umm…
okay, maybe my last comment was rather inappropriate.
Prince of Space?!
RIP (“ya scum! ha-ha-ha”)
…you were enjoyed
I hope Mr. Umemiya knew legions of MST fans enjoyed his work.
This is sad. One of my favorite, and I think highly underrated episodes. RIP sir!!
Was he not in “Invasion of the Neptune Men” too? Or was that a different actor?
Good night, sweet Prince (of Space).
Space Chef/Chief was played by none other than Sonny Chiba in one of his earliest roles.
even love the vanilla version. he was great. mainly because there are many weapons that simply do not, will not, and no matter how much you unload on him… DO NOT FRIGGIN HARM HIM!!!
