Stuntman Daichi Nobe (Suit actor for Engine Bros) passed away due to falling accident. He was 21

Say what you will about the Cog Bros, but this young man at the very least brought one of them to life.

According to Chiba authorities, near midnight at 6/13, Nobe was practicing falls ranging from 15 meters high from atop the 5th floor of a Chiba hotel (with safety precautions such as the air mattress). After one last jump, he staggered from the mattress and mat and fell unconscious. He was then taken to the hospital, but the hospital later declared time of death at 5:40AM.

Japan Action Enterprises issued a statement about Nobe:
He was an irreplaceable member (of the agency) as an actor and stuntman. We are praying from the bottom of our hearts for him. We are sincerely thankful for everyone’s kindness and deeply apologize to our fans for the concern and trouble this incident has caused.
Yasuyuki Maekawa (Soichi) also issue a statement:
Daichi Nobe, who I worked together with on Kamen Rider Build, suddenly passed away today at the young age of 21. I’ve lost a precious friend who I worked with on the same show. We’ve lost a young talent who had just begun to run towards his dream. It is a true shame. I have absolutely no words when I think about his family’s sorrow. Nobe poured all his love into Build and we’ll aspire towards part of that dream, we’ll pour our heart and soul into Kamen Rider Build until the very end, that is our mission.
My condolences to Nobe's friends, family, JAE, and the Kamen Rider Build production staff.
The haters all around this world can drink Childish Gambino's daycare while I, the insignificant nobody they branded as, continue to survive & thrive.

Man, that's always heartbreaking news. We have a tendency to overlook the stunt fighting of toku since it's day in and day out. But it's what gives the genre its charm. It's also what makes it so risky. These people go to amazing lengths and significant risk so that we can bitch about Evolt every week.

And while there's no good age to die, yeah, 21 is very young.:(
