The news was announced by Masakuzu Morita (Ichigo's seiyuu) and Keiichi Takahashi (Seiyu todo Gizaemon (Member of the 9th Division during PELV)). He was under medical treatment due to illness for a while.
Tsukada has played many characters during his career. Course "Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai" in Bleach, but also "Toto" in One Piece, "General Grumman" in Fullmetal Alchemist, "Choko Shiko" in Ikkitosen "Gorō Tashiro" in Shouwa Monogatari, the role of "President" Yumeiro in Pastry and so on. He doubled Steve Kahan, who plays the role of Captain Murphy in Lethal Weapon for the Japanese version of the film.
He was married to Masako Nozawa, who is also a Seiyu, which will emcee this weekend for his funeral.
Morita said he was taken aback after he knew Tsukada died. He remembered how Tsukada has always affectionately called "Ichigo" instead of "Morita" in the studio recordings of Bleach. He also remembers how Tsukada was always smiling and cheerful nature, even if it should take a dignified when he donned the role of Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai.

Toshio Furukawa (Seiyu of Kageroza Inaba (Arc of the Army of Invasion)) noted that he often worked with him since young. And he always sat next to Tsukada during the recording sessions for Bleach. It allowed them to often discuss many topics recollect him very good memories.
Fate willed that the anniversary of the character Yamamoto was January 21, a week before his death. We will always remember his singular voice.
