Hiroshi Kakoi, one of the animators who worked on the animation in the 1980 Astro Boy anime, has passed away. He passed away during the March 11 earthquake in Japan. No age was given.
My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

Oh!
Sorry to read that. May he rest in peace. I'll probably be thinking of this when watching the next episodes of that series.

That is pretty sad . May he rest in peace .
Did he pass away because of the earthquake, or did he pass away on the day of the earthquake?

Rest in peace, and thank you for your wonderful work. Keeping your family in my prayers.
@Astro Boy2866 - In the obit it said he perished in the quake/tsunami (his wife survived).
I can't bear to watch the footage of the that wave destroying everything, knowing lives were being lost instantly.
