Kinryū Arimoto (有本 欽隆, Arimoto Kinryū, born Yoshitaka Arimoto, February 11, 1940 – February 1, 2019) was a Japanese actor and voice actor formerly employed by Production Baobab. He also practiced kenpo, earning the black belt rank of shodan. Though his birth name was Yoshitaka, a kanji mistranslation led to his name being read as Kinryū, which stuck as his stage name.
He died on February 1, 2019, aged 78 due to esophageal cancer.
