Body found in mountain may be missing 'Crayon Shinchan' cartoonist

Quote:

MAEBASHI, Japan, Sept. 19 (AP) - (Kyodo)—A climber found a body, which may be that of Yoshito Usui, cartoonist of the popular "Crayon Shinchan" series adapted for TV and film, in a mountain straddling Gunma and Nagano prefectures on Saturday morning, police said.

The body will be recovered from the bottom of a steep cliff on Mt. Arafune on Sunday to verify whether it is indeed Usui, 51, who has been missing since Sept. 11, the police said.

Before he left home in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture, on the morning of Sept. 11, Usui had told his family that he was going hiking on Mt. Arafune and would return by the evening, according to the police.

His family reported him missing the next day and the Saitama prefectural police have been searching for him in cooperation with the police in Gunma and Nagano prefectures.

Usui started drawing "Crayon Shinchan," the story of a feisty kindergarten boy Shinnosuke Nohara living in Kasukabe with his family, in a comic book published by Futabasha Publishers Ltd. in 1990.

The city of Kasukabe issued a special residence card for the Nohara family in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the municipality and has also been using Shinchan since April as the city's mascot for its childrearing support campaign.

It's a popular cartoon/manga in Asia in the 90s. Everyone was reading it...from elementary school kids to high school teens to people in their 30s or 40s! One of my favourite of all time!

I agree, lots of people die every day. She just happened to be cute so the media is all over this.

Even as far as murders go, there are much more tragic stories than this.

I hope the dead body is not him. I still have the whole set of Crayon Chan cartoon at home. I heart that cartoon so much
