Yoshito Usui, author of the famous manga Crayon Shin-chan, has been found dead on mount Arafune, apparently after a hiking trip gone wrong.
The 51-year-old author’s body was reported lying under the Tomoiwa cliff by a male hiker. His personal belongings was found near his body, including his backpack and mobile phone. He had been reported missing a week prior.
His remains were airlifted from the scene for autopsy, with police concluding he died of a collapsed lung and other injuries incurred during the fall, confirming the identity of the corpse with dental records.
The precise circumstances surrounding his death are not known, but police do not seem to be considering foul play or suicide likely explanations; attention focuses on the precarious and unfenced nature of the trail, although it is said to have long been accident free.
The publishers of the manga has extended their condolences to the family, and will review the uncertain future of Crayon Shin-chan’s publication.

Ouch, that is quite a tall cliffside. ='( Hope the family gets through this well.
Wow, this is pretty sad... I liked his work too! Really sobering reality here.
Rest In Peace man, legend of Comedy Anime!
R.I.P. funniest anime ever watched
I'm glad he's dead, that manga/show was so shitty.
Well that's great, just because you didn't like the manga this guy made you're happy that he's dead? That's like me wishing death upon you because I disagree with your comment.
don't feed the troll
Where the hell was action bastard?
Oh man, I always through it's ok to hate someone for his work because you don't like it.. but actaully being glad for a death.. you must be a heartless fella, he have done nothing to you except writting that manga + you can choose to not read / watch it. I think you fail on making that comment.. I wish your life is better than that bitterness you show on that comment
the trolls won't go away if you keep feeding them
...and we're still feeding it...
Trolls will be continue to be trolls. Except with mouths full of dick.
Thank god he dead now.
The troll is dead?
YAAAAAY THE TROLL IS DEAD!
Fuck u shit u insnesitive prick
shitty troll is shitty
aww man i loved this series. im gonna miss it
R.I.P, read first volume while in elementary school, 2nd or 3rd grade dont remember, but i know i enjoyed it and made me laugh lots
I'll be glad when LDC is dead, that post was so shitty. Somebody tell me when it happens so I can hold a party.
^QFT & the great sake of Justice
For great justice.
LDC, you're tsudere, ain't you?
*tsundere
Attention Troll =/= Tsundere
Oh, Many thanks for that, Anon.
Hey LDC, why don't you and your whole family go to hell cuz you are a dumb fuck? =)

+1 dead puppy
sankaku commentors became strange these days. Someone died and the one guy laughing is being flamed. This seems just wrong in a place like this. It's perfectly alright to make stupid/funny comments, so keep up the bad work LDC
its because someone died that sankaku goers, including myself, actually cared about.
your mom was shitty. =)
Interestingly wishing death to LDC and his family is morally far worse than him being disrespectful towards a stranger's death.
Wishing death to LDC's family(only) is morally as worst as him being disrespectful towards a stranger's death.
fix'd
Then again, LDC is also a stranger to almost everyone here so can we just simply be disrespectful to his future death too..?
could care less, LDC didn't make crayon sinchan.
I hope he dies so we can disrespect his death too.
Though this is an obvious troll, I slightly agree with you. It's horrible he died, but I can't say I'm not a tiny bit happy there won't be more of a manga I hate.
I agree, sorry to see that he died and in such a lonely place, far from friends and famly.
But I really thought he artistry was bottom of the barrel, the humor was truly genius and funny as hell, but the really sucked.
Sorry, but that's how I see it....
"but the drawing really sucked."
*fixed*
the drawing was unique...he has his own style, u should learn how to respect that
9/10
Successful troll is successful
You obviously fail enough to not understand the themes between the lines.
I feel sorry for you man
fu£k you then ..... just die alreasy
If you don't like it, don't read/watch it you asshole...
I agree. Hearing about this made me smile a lot.
You're gonna regret saying that.
That comment should be deleted. Not fun & tasteless.
Shin-chan was the biggest crap i have ever seen, but its sad that he died.
Really, no lie.
2009
THIS FUCKIN YEAR
I'm sure it's only going to get much fcking worse. ;__;
R.I.P
T.T
I remember liking his work and lmao when I was reading the manga.
Wait, what?!
Although Shin-chan's design was crude at best, I still loved its cheesy comedy. Action Bastard is one sad panda tonight...
RIP
