We lost a true creative legend.

RIP Kazuo Umezu-san.

I’ll have to check out Viz’s new release for My Name Is Shingo.

Did you know that Kazuo Umezu also had a band? Kazz and the Super Police. A real one if there ever was. RIP!

That's sad. Kazuo Umezu was one of the greats in his field. He's been around a long time and it's a shame he's no longer with us. It's a great loss to manga and anime.

RIP and farewell,sir. You will be missed greatly. Sad

Wow, I thought he'd have a few more years. But at least it's not one of those sudden Toriyama/Miura-type deaths. R.I.P.

i only read The Drifting Classroom earlier this year and watched The Curse of Kazuo Umezz a little while back, both of them are incredible, classic horror pieces that are still very effective and creepy. highly recommend to any horror fans.

RIP Umezz-sensei.

I'm a relative newcomer to his work, but I find it oddly compelling, so much so that I've been picking up every one of Viz's recent hardcovers. My Name is Shingo in particular is outstanding. Hope Viz releases more of his works after they wrap up that series.
