 According to the twitter of Nogami Takeshi, mangaka Kawasaki Noboru refused Tokyo Anime Award, which was planned to be given at Tokyo International Anime Fair (TAF) 2011. Tokyo Government had offered him the prize for the distinguished service. Kawasaki consulted the Japan Cartoonists Association and decided to turn it down considering the issue of Anime & Manga Regulation Ordinance. Tokyo proposed to give the prize in other occasion than TAF but Kawasaki declined it as well. Nogami said Tokyo officials got flurried by his unexpected refusal.Kawasaki Noboru is 69 years old and the art author of Japanese classic manga "Kyojin no Hoshi" (Wikipedia). The manga and its anime adaptations have got fanatic popularity in 1960's and 70's in Japan.

We will never forget those that have fallen for our freedom! |
| This makes my day, that when people are like "here's an award!" after fucking up an industry that the recipiant will be like "i don't want your stupid crap" |

| I hope they realize soon they made a mistake and undo that bill...or at the very least, reword it in such a way that it wouldn't hurt the industry. The Japanese government, I mean. Glad to see more people standing up for this, though, and I hope things turn out well before the end. Ganbatte, Kawasaki-san! |
| Woah little by little... looks like more and more people are opposing the bill & regulation, little by little I'm sure they'll be able to get through one day... :) |

| Yay, more opposing against the bill. Fightooooo~~ |
| Good, that's how you get things done! You just keep declining and refusing until something happens, and eventually it'll work because the government or whoever runs it will be losing money =] |
| Exactly this what I'm hoping for to all manga artist x3 |
 -- I'm looking for "The One" and I'll find her more quickly if I audition two at a time. Think you can do better? -- -- The World God Only Knows -- Toaru Majutsu no Index -- Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai -- |
| Yeah, stick it to the man. |
 |
| Hah. This sounds so surreal. It's like it came from a manga. |

| I've always felt you can't say something has "fanatic popularity" until bodily harm has been inflicted because of said something. |
| Ha-cha! |

If anything he needs to just die suddenly in his sleep, from a painful disease, or die from a small government coup. Some disease or non-otaku must put him down for good. |

OrochiPL said: ^ Dakara... burn his house. D : Thats still really no better... I get you are having fun with it. But he is still just a man doing what he thinks is right. Saying burn down his house, even jokingly is childish and really only gives power to the other side. |
