Didn't need to be, but it's who I am. Seriously, the man goes missing and the first thing mentioned is the his comic/cartoon?

Really hope the man's ok... but it does sound rather bleak at the moment.

Shin Chan Creator's Phone Last Detected near Mountains
Quote:
According to police, the mobile phone of missing 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.
When you have a cell phone and you're in the mountains, you can't call out or receive calls because it's blocked by mountainous terrain.

Unforutunately sad news if it is him. I'll change the thread title the moment they verify the identity of the remains, though I have some hope that he might still be alive.

Looks like that's him. I wouldn't expect foul play either; he probably fell. Unfortunately, this actually happens more frequently than one would think.

This is sounding worse. It shouldn't take much longer to determine whether or not it was him.

I hope this turns out okay, but it's getting less and less likely. I aagree with veemonjosh as well. The man and his family come first, his matierial possesion second.

I hate to see say this, but I think it's Usui's body. To my confirmation, he's pronounced dead.

I hope FUNi will post tribute special on YouTube.

And I can assure you, dealing with has been done. Thank you for this post.

This thread just became zero tolerance. This thread will have respect, or heads roll. Got it?
