| What's up with these house fires lately. First the Gundam composer, and now this. RIP to him and his wife. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| He was the reason I loved Samurai Troopers. RIP. thebrentinator24 said: What's up with these house fires lately. First the Gundam composer, and now this. RIP to him and his wife. Seriously. What the fuck? |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| Jesus, another death by fire, wtf. I smell arson. RIP |
 |
| Thanks for the contribution, r.i.p. |
 |
| At first, I thought it was an update on the Gundam composer's fire. Now, I'm questioning why another person is dead by fire. Rest in peace to the animator. |
| This is a signature. It is used to hold images and words. However, I am using it to store these lines your reading right now! |
| Another death by fire? This is starting to smell fishy |

| What is up with the death by fire. |
 |
| Really Sad News. I love Votoms a lot. [Death by fire? Again?] |
 |
| This is unbelievable. Who next, someone warn all the Votoms and Gundam staff to fireproof their homes! |
 |
| Finally, someone that died not because of exhaustion... But still, RIP, never seen the dude's art though... |
| Life's a bitch and then you die. All I can say is I hope he and his wife at least went due to smoke inhalation, because burning to death would fucking suck... |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| That's a sad coincidence. RIP |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Damn, house fire again... :( RIP. I remember watching Yoroiden Samurai Troopers in my native language dub, one of my very early anime shows (though didn't manage to finish). Thanks for the character design and animation, that anime is part of my childhood memories. Going to finish that show some time soon in the future from the beginning again but in English sub. |

| Another house fire? Weird. Either way, that's an awful way to die. |

| The world has lost two special people. Very sad. Your character designs for Ronin Warriors are amazing Sir. Thanks for being a part of our community. May both you and your wife be in heaven together. |
