    It is with great sadness we have to report the death of a voice actor involved with the 'Kingdom Hearts' series. Robert Guillaume, better known to Disney fans as the voice of Rafiki from 'The Lion KIng', a role he reprised in Kingdom Hearts II, has died in his home in Los Angeles today at the age of 89 after battling prostate cancer. Our thoughts are with his friends and family who are mourning his loss.

      He was part of one of the greatest treasures Disney had the honor of bringing to the big screen. RIP Robert Guillaume.

      Originally, they planned to make Rafiki the serious mentor type. I'm so glad they went in the other direction.
      Guillaume brought so much joy and energy to the role.
