Sun 2009/09/20 09:10 JST

Is very possible for him to be dead, because this september 19 a climber found a dead body
in the bottom of a 300 meters deep cliff called Tomoiwa, police said that they still cant confirm
that is Usui because they still cant get the body from the cliff, but the clothes are very similiar
to Usui´s ones, they will get the body in september 20, Usui gone missing since september 11

Wow, such a sudden death. Sounds pretty much like he's dead, I suppose we will find out officially once the body is examined.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I wan Shin-Chan!!!!!!!!!
Shin-chan is not my thing, but it's quite unfortunate about this death, whether the body belong to him or not.
i feel sorry for him....man o man, 2009 sure does kill well known people....how depressing..
T_T no !! i grew up reading shin-chan
Oh, how sad. D:
Oh my god, this is so... why did he go alone?? ;_;
I don't know about this but speculating that he committed suicide (with little probability) or an accident (high probability).
But why would he go alone, it's common sense to have at least one person go climbing with you due to the potential accidents that could happen with no inmediate help available, I really hope it's not him ;_;
I'm also starting to remember some horror stories involving trips to mountains...
first Michael Jackson
now this !!!
2009-The year of death.
His death had been confirmed.........

My utmost condolence to him & his family, I enjoyed Crayon Shin-chan a lot when I was little.
Same here...
What a sad day for Shin-chan fans!
May he rest in peace....
So does Shin-chan....
It's not sure that this will kill Shin-chan. Walt Disney and Carl Barks are both dead, yet you can buy a new magazine/comic book with new Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse stories. They are just made by somebody else. Maybe Shin-chan will experience the same fate. If that happens, then we just have to hope that they will not do the same as Disney and try to update their characters to a modern world. Donald Duck used to be timeless, now it's not anymore and that ruins the duck universe (at least for me).
