On Sunday, authorities have identified the body discovered at Arafune mountain as that of missing Crayon Shin-chan manga creator Yosh*to Usui through dental records and other means. 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. The police helicopter from Gunma Prefecture airlifted the body on Sunday afternoon.

According to Usui's family, Usui had said that he was "going hiking for a day in Gunma Prefecture," as he often did, on the morning of September 11. His mobile phone 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. In particular, Usui was 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. Authorities had been searching this area since his wife reported his disappearance on September 12, after he did not return the night before.

Apologies for the link not working. The board is censoring the name 'Yosh*to'.

Oh, that's just pathetic. Is there any way to amend the censoring software so that it doesn't do that? Or just stop using it altogether? In my experience, auto-censors can create more problems than they solve.
