Producer of Uchu Senkan Yamato Killed in a Sea Accident
Nishizaki established Office Academy in 1963 and produced Umi no Triton with former members of Mushi Productions. In 1973, he launched Uchuu Senkan Yamato project. He had disputed with Matsumoto Leiji and Touhouku Shinsha over the copyright of Yamato for years and reconciled in 2004.
Nishizaki had been arrested for illegal possession of firearms and stimulant drugs twice and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in 2003.

He probably never got over Matsumoto taking the spotlight, lol it's Leiji who's deserving the title anyway for creating such a wonderfull universe. No tears falling for that crazy addict. As others have mentioned, probably an act of suicide.

This year the anime industry was cursed taking down too many people before their time but there were losses of legends and originals who founded the anime industry.
