Shin Chan creator, Yoshito Usui die

Yoshito Usui, the author of comic book “Crayon Shin-chan”, was confirmed dead in a hiking accident. The manga artist has been missing since September 11th. According to the local police, his body fell 250—300 meters from the peak rock.

The 51-year old Usui had kept a habit of day-long hiking excursions on him own. This time he headed for Arafune mountain in Gunma prefecture but unfortunately never came back. This sad news not only shocked Usui’s family but also saddened Crayon Shin-chan lovers from all over the world.

The body was discovered 120 meters below the mountain's Tomoiwa cliff and reported at about 10:25 a.m. on Saturday by a male climber. Usui's backpack, camera, and other items had fallen about 50 meters away. Inside Usui's backpack was his mobile phone, wallet, and clothes. A police helicopter from Gunma Prefecture airlifted the body on Sunday afternoon. Police from the nearby town of Shimonita concluded that the 51-year-old creator died from collapsed lungs and other injuries sustained across his entire body sometime in the afternoon of September 11.
