Yomiuri & Mainichi Newspapers have reported that 51 year old Crayon Shin-chan manga creator Yoshito Usui went on a routine day hike in Gunma Prefecture last Friday, September 11th, and hasn’t been seen since. Usui’s wife reported him missing to police on Saturday. Neither Usui’s family nor his publisher, Futabasha, have been able to contact him.
Saitama prefecture police that have jurisdiction in Usui’s home town of Kasukabe have requested help from police in neighboring districts to assist in the search.
Yoshito Usui launched his Crayon Shin-chan manga in August 1990. The series has become one of Japan’s most popular franchises, spinning off a top-rated anime television series and 17 theatrical features.
