May she rest in peace.

By the way, if her date of birth in the article is official, then the one in her encyclopedia page is incorrect.

Doing her job to the very last day, RIP Sasuga-san.

Also small correction: Danganronpa character name is Monomi (or Usami), not Moromi.

Unfortunate news to hear. The worse part of this is that she passed away the day after her birthday. Thank you for contributing to the DR series. You were great as Usami/Monomi.

Sasuga's passing just reminded me of Oyama (original Monokuma) who is almost 3 years older than Sasuga.

Thanks to both of you, I corrected the encyclopedia entry and the Danganronpa character name.

Though it seems fitting for it to be misspelled.

Fifty-three years. That's a legendary role. I hope Sasuga-san will rest in peace, and that her friends, family, and fans will be all right.

As far as I know, Midori Kato (Sazae) is now the last remaining original cast member of Sazae-san.

Wow, she grew up during WW2. What a life she's lived since then.

RIP
