Wow. This is very random. I wake up, come to work, drink a cup of coffee, and what do I see on rangerboard? Shin Chan creator is missing. I'm sure he'll come around.
This is the latest update: The Yomiuri Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun newspapers report that Usui had said on Friday morning that he was "going hiking for a day in Gunma Prefecture" north of his home by himself, as he often did. When he did not return that night, his wife contacted the authorities on Saturday. His family called his mobile phone, but the calls went unanswered.
Damn. It's unfortunate, but chances are, he might have slipped and fallen down a hill or cliff. Also, how old is this guy? Depending on whether or not he fell and his age, there could be a chance he survived and his phone was simply broken.

Here's the latest update: According to police, the mobile phone of missing Crayon Shin-chan manga creator Yoshito Usui was last detected in the vicinity of Karuizawa, a town about 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) northwest of his Kasukabe home, on Monday. Karuizawa is located in the mountainous eastern part of Nagano Prefecture, near the border of the equally mountainous Gunma Prefecture.
Usui had reportedly told his family on Friday morning that he was "going hiking for a day in Gunma Prefecture," but he has not been heard from since. In particular, Usui is said to have expressed his intent to climb the Arafune mountain, which towers 1,422 meters (4,665 feet) high at the border between Nagano and Gunma Prefectures. The authorities have not detected any signals from Usui's mobile phone since Monday.
He probably ran out of energy for his batteries on his cell phone. He could still be alive but if he gets found he probably won't work on the manga for months. But, the anime has done pretty well on it's own.
So it's been a week if I'm not wrong - if there's nothing in the mountain that he could be at safely for one week, like a lodge or something, I'd say its high time they break out the lanterns and comb the area.
Male remains have been discovered on Saturday morning in the mountains of Gunma Prefecture, the same general area where Crayon Shin-chan creator Yoshito Usui was reportedly going hiking on September 11 when he went missing. Authorities have not identified the remains yet, but they told the TBS television station that the clothing on the remains resemble those of Usui.

At 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, the authorities received a report from climbers that "there are remains below a rocky ledge."
Stay positive people it could be someone else. I mean bodies can't decompose THAT fast.
