Most of us would be familiar with Crayon Shinchan, the anime featuring the wacky mischievous kindergarten kid Shinnosuke Nohara. Well, it seems like his creator, Yoshito Usui [臼井儀人] has gone missing since last Friday after going hiking in the mountains in Gunma Prefecture.
He had told his family that he would return in same evening but never did. His family reported him missing the next day and the Saitama police have been searching for him in cooperation with the police in Gunma and Nagano prefectures.

With all the funny and weird news stories that we heard about Saitama, somehow I’m not really that confident their policemen will be able to locate Yoshito-san.
That’s very sad to hear, I hope they will find him alive and well.
shinchan ,i loved that show
BUT OH NO!Shinchan has taken him somewhere
if only he had gone missing BEFORE he made shinchan, i hate that fucking show
Don’t people who hike in mountains or forests usually go WITH a partner/group? If he didn’t, then finding him alive is slim O_o
best luck to him!! i read crayon shin-chan since i was young and it was part of my childhood memories. i hope he will be fine, seriously
