This has been bugging me ever since the March 11 Earthquake in Japan this year. A word from Nintendo was announced in Bulbapedia that none in Nintendo of Japan was injured. Well Nintendo headquarters are in Kyoto (established romanization) so this is slightly believeable, but it was me who was searching for manga, anime and videogame artists via Google Person Finder. As the current discussion in Sun Unova Beach appoints, I'm not the only one who still has yet to get the whole picture of the destruction, and there are millions of other people in Japan who were touched deeply, but still I have to blame the media for poor informing about famous artists' condition.

So does anybody have any information on mangakas and other artists who died in the earthquake? I hope I'm not turning the knife inside the wound, but people have the right to know! Link to a page or something would help greatly.
