Who is this? Not to offend anyone.

Dieing at 67 sucks, stay off the tobacco kids.

He is the founder of Madhouse Studios, the studio which animated Death Note, NANA, Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo, all of Satoshi Kon's work as director, and most of Maasaki Yuasa's work (Mind Game is the major exception here) too.

He is also a director of many classic old-school anime.

Such a shame there... Rose of Versailles was a masterpiece, and Madhouse has produced some great anime. RIP, you'll be missed.

He first directed Ashita no Joe when he was 26

O_O He was involved in the creation of Ashita no Joe - and at such a young age, too! *awestruck* Makes me want to watch it as soon as possible.

Rest in peace...
