Mizuki-San Dies

A popular manga artist Mizuki Shigeru known for "Ggege no Kitsro" has died at age of 93. He might become a real yokai, traditional Japanese monster. 

His "Gegege no Kitaro" adapted into TV animation series many times. I think almost every Japanese know Kitaro. He is so beloved manga character. 

Mizuki's hometown Sakaiminato-shi, Tottori has featured him and displays more than 100 statues of his characters alongside the "Mizuki Shigeru Road" which is a major tourists spot in the prefecture.
