Even though it happened last month we are just getting wind of this now. The renowned Kazunori Mizuno, animator for Naruto, Bleach, Akira , YU-YU Hakashu and many more animes has passed away. With not that much information available to the public as of yet all the fan tributes have been pouring in. As an otaku who has watched and read much of his work I just want to say it’s an honor to have read and enjoyed his work. To his family I would like to send my condolences for their loss. The world of anime has lost one of its stars.
