Can anyone give me a source to validate if he is alive? Please.


Google's People Finder has been reversed from "dead" to "seeking information". There is no information as far as the program goes.

I got a tweet from someone a few minutes ago saying that Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri died in the tsunami. Can someone confirm this?

Hey on twitter and on tumblr, their saying that the creator of pokemon (Satoshi Taijiri) died due to the tsunami, is this information true? i know last year the original anime writer died... just want to comfirm


I'm fairly sure it's a hoax. I haven't seen anything outside of Twitter that's mentioned it, and no one is linking back to a source.

I wish people would stop assuming that if someone hasn't updated, it means they've died. It's a horrible, terrifying thing to happen and I'm sure a lot of the people we're concerned for have more pressing things to take care of than update their blog. Like making sure everyone they know is okay. Be patient and don't believe rumors until you see a reliable source!! All in all, considering the magnitude of the earthquake, the death toll (so far) is relatively low, compared to what it would be in a country that wasn't so well-prepared.

Kishimoto appears at various sources as alive.


This. I believe in these sources, and thinking he lives in Tokyo or near, it wasn't a so damaged area.

People saying he's dead are just trolling, like the one who spread the rumor about Satoshi Tajiri's death ¬¬

If he lived in Nagi, Okayama then he has been reported dead by Google's people finder.

*realizes he's the creator of Naruto* OH GOD, NO!


That page on Google's people finder is in english, the japanese version doesn't have any report about Kishimoto...

This site: http://grupodinamo.blogspot.com/2011/03/seiyuu-y-mangakas-que-se-han-reportado.html , which has been 100% accurate so far, reports that he is alive.

Is there anything on Hidekaz Himaruya


From what I heard, he lived near where the nuclear power plant was located, and my guess is that, if he's okay, he's probably been evacuated, and is probably lacking the resources to update us on his condition. I would hold out hope, though. Hopefully he'll update his blog in the next day or so.
Do you have any source to back this up please?

I'm so glad so many people are safe (including Narita Ryohogo and many others) but I don't think I can to go to bed until I hear that Takahiro Sakurai is safe!!

Of course I shouldn't be "too" worried since he lives in the Aichi Prefecture but still... TT__TT
He's fine. He's on the list of people listed as fine in the article.


The twitter listed for Takahiro Sakurai is just his bot twitter, which automatically tweets events and stuff, so he didn't actually tweet anything. There's no real confirmation of his status or not ._.

Anyone know anything new on Takahiro Sakurai, Suzumura Kenichi & Midorikawa Hikaru?


Sakurai-san is fine. He tweeted at comcha_qr twitter: 櫻井です。僕は大丈夫です。まだまだ余震が続いてますので、皆様、どうかお気をつけください。(This is Sakurai. I'm fine. But I'm still followed by aftershock. Everybody, please be safe.)

Midorin & SuzuKen also safe ^^


EDIT: Does anyone knows about ODAGIRI HOTARU (mangaka of Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru). I can't find her name anywhere *worried*
