Original report from last week:

Quote:

According to Iza News, Usui Yoshito, the manga author of Crayon Shin-chan, has been missing since September 11th. Saitama Prefecture Police is searching for him upon a request by his family. Yomiuri Newspaper reported that Usui left home for a mountain climbing in the morning of September 11th. His cell phone is online but nobody answers to the call.

Update
On September 19th, a climber found a body of a man in Arafune mountain, which Usui headed for. The body fell 250 - 300 meter from the peak rock and was badly damaged. According to the police, the clothes of the body resembles Usui's. The police will recover and identify the body on September 20th.

Very sad to hear, Shin-chan was insanely popular in Japan and even around the world. He will be missed.

Even though I didn't like the series that much it sucks that the guy died like that. At least they will be able to recover the body.

Imagine falling off a cliff to your death.

The Comedian · 09-20-2009, 01:14 PM

Falling to your death has got to be one of the shittiest ways to go.

What's worse is if you don't die immediately on contact

Blaze of Glory · 09-20-2009, 01:18 PM

Yikes

And I loved the show too

Sima · 09-20-2009, 01:19 PM

Oh my god...thats so sad...

I really enjoyed Shin-Chan, and I have to agree that would be one of the worst ways to go

amazingfunksta · 09-20-2009, 01:20 PM

Poor guy, falling to your death like that has to suck :-/.

I loved that show too... Guess I need to go on a crayon shin chan downloading marathon *nodnod*.

This is awful.

Armaroller · 09-20-2009, 03:29 PM

I am saddened by the news. I loved the show especially on Adult Swim. According to what I read from ANN, the manga still has 2 more chapters left and the anime is still up in the air. I hope it stays on TV in syndication.

Red Riding Hood · 09-20-2009, 03:40 PM

R.I.P
You created a funny little guy.

Kyasurin Yakuto · 09-20-2009, 04:34 PM

I don't think I've ever heard of that manga before. Very sad though.

EDIT: Just looked up the manga....it looks familiar actually. I guess I just didn't know what it was called before.
