Creator of Crayon Shin Chan Found Dead


I am never a fan of crayon shin chan...However, it's impossible for not knowing it due to its popularity...

There's a saddening news that creator of Crayon Shin Chan, Yoshita Usui, was dead...


On September 12, 2009, Usui's family reported him missing from his hometown of Kasukabe when Usui did not return from hiking in nearby Gumma Prefecture. Saitama Prefecture. Police began searching for him at the family's request on September 15 and expanded their search to nearby prefectures. On September 19, 2009, a body with clothes matching those described in the report filed by Usui's family was found at the bottom of a cliff on Mount Arafune in the Gunma Prefecture. The body was identified by dental records and family members the next day as being that of Usui...(from wikipedia)

No more crayon shin chan?
