Yeah, he was said to be missing like a week ago and they found his body a few days ago. Really sad.

Some of my best Japanese study has been done with his work. I'm very sad for all his family and fans, me included.

That's such a shame. Only 51 too.

His show was like an amazing cross between South Park and Arthur the Aardvark.

This is horribly sad news. Shinchan is by far one of the most interesting characters I've ever had the pleasure of getting to know. He will be sorely missed.

Apparently there will be a new author replacing Usui
