Another Great Loss in the Anime/Manga World.

Everyone mourns the passing of 51 year old Yoshihito Usui, creator of the very humorous 'Crayon Shinchan' series - the beloved series about a kindergartner and his family. The comic book was later adapted as a television series and film, and has been used in a new campaign aimed at child rearing in the region. In Taiwan, Family Mart uses Shinchan for various Premiums Campaign - with one currently running.

It has been reported that the 51-year-old went missing on September 11, after going on a climb on the mountain. He never returned home, and his body was discovered by a hiker just a day ago.
