Yoshito Usui, the creator of Crayon Shinchan is found dead

The popular Japanese manga artist of “Crayon Shin-chan,” Yoshito Usui, was found dead in the mountains of Gunma prefecture after apparently falling to his death off a cliff. Usui had reportedly gone missing on the 11th of the month after telling his family he was going for a day-hike in the mountains.

The body of 51 year old Yoshito Usui was discovered by a hiker yesterday, September 19th (JST), at the bottom of one of the steep cliffs of Mt. Arafune, about 90 miles northwest of Tokyo. The incident appears to have happened on the north face of the mountain just off a popular hiking trail on a part of the cliff that is about about 100 meters (330 feet) tall . Mt. Arafune is famous locally for its colored cliffs which run between 200 to 300 meters tall (about 650 to 1,000 feet) in some areas, and is considered to be one of the top 200 mountains in Japan. While there are no guard rails along the cliff edges, accidents on the mountain are reportedly rare.

Rescue workers yesterday were unable to retrieve Utui's body. It was believed he was already dead by then. Today, September 20th, around 17 police officials hiked up to the body’s location and had it airlifted out by helicopter in the late afternoon. Although descriptions of the body’s clothing matched Usui’s, identification was not officially determined until late this evening after matching dental records. A broken digital camera and a beige bag were also found in the same vicinity...

I know this is not a new story, he was found 10 days ago, but i was wondered why no one post about it yet. So to show my condolences and appreciate his contributes in our lives i made up this thread. It is truly shocking to hear the mangaka of world greatly known Shinchan passed away in an accident. I have read and watch the series (i even play the GB game!) since i was a little kid. He is truly a great figure of manga world and his story will forever be remembered. Now i can only wonder how the story ends.
