Shin-chan creator falls to death in mountains

Update:
On Sunday, authorities have identified the body discovered at Arafune mountain as that of missing Crayon Shin-chan manga creator Yoshito 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. A police helicopter from Gunma Prefecture airlifted the body on Sunday afternoon. Police from the nearby town of Shimonita concluded that the 51-year-old creator died from collapsed lungs and other injuries sustained across his entire body sometime in the afternoon of September 11.

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. According to Gunma Prefecture’s police, there are no guardrails near the top of Tomoiwa cliff, but the established climber’s trail is too far from the cliffside for someone to fall. Authorities had been searching this area since his wife reported his disappearance on September 12, after he did not return the night before.

The editorial staff at Futabasha’s Manga Town magazine has stated on Sunday night that the “future publication [of Crayon Shin-chan] is to be determined.” Futabasha said it was “going through great shock, now that the worst outcome has come to past. There are no words to express the anguish of the surviving family, but we just pray for his happiness in the next world.”

Original Story:
51-year-old Crayon Shin-chan manga creator Yoshito Usui has been missing since Friday, and his family asked the police in his hometown of Kasukabe to launch a search effort on Saturday, according to the Sankei Shimbun paper’s source who is connected to the search. Police in Usui’s home prefecture of Saitama (northwest of Tokyo) have contacted the police in other prefectures to expand the search. Usui’s publisher Futabasha told Sankei Shimbun, “He has not been in contact [with us], so we are very worried.”

Crayon Shin-chan follows the exploits of Shinnosuke Nohara, a mischievous (fictional) kindergartner in Usui’s own Kasukabe City. Usui launched the manga in Futabasha’s Weekly Manga Action magazine in August 1990, and he has continued to work on the series after moving it to Manga Town and other Futabasha magazines. Shin’ei Doga has been adapting it into a top-5-rated television anime series since 1992, and the television series has itself inspired 17 anime films.

CMX Manga has been releasing Yoshito Usui’s original Crayon Shin-chan manga in English in North America. Funimation has been adapting the Shin-chan television anime series into dubbed English, and the Adult Swim network used to run episodes every Sunday morning.
Update: The Yomiuri Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun newspapers report that Usui had said on Friday morning that he was “going hiking for a day in Gunma Prefecture” north of his home by himself, as he often did. When he did not return that night, his wife contacted the authorities on Saturday. His family called his mobile phone, but the calls went unanswered.

    Shin Chan is one of my favorite shows. I hope they find him in good health. And it’d be great if Anime Media Started uploading episodes.

    this series sucks so bad its poorly animated and has pretty much no purpose to it. Please don’t upload it to anime-media it would be a waste of space seriously

    thetruth… despite your dislike for the series, this post was about a MISSING PERSON. not uploading the anime itself. And although your allowed your opinion 100%, this isn’t the audience for it.

    So sorry didn’t mean to make a fuss I just wanted to state my mind. I usually don’t even read those long paragraphs at the beggining but I guess I should now. I hope they find the guy even though his series is retarded
