 The wife of mangaka Yoshihiro Kuroiwa has announced via his blog on Wednesday that he died on May 8 from cardiac infarction. He was 56 years old. The funeral has already been held among family members. She apologized that she didn't announce his death on time because it happened too sudden.As a mangaka Kuroiwa drew the Kishin Douji Zenki, Beyblade Taisen Seiryuuden, Buddy Spirits, and Fushigi Hunter manga series. Two of his manga series have received anime adaptations, in which he did the series composition and the original character design for Buddy Spirits and Kishin Douji Zenki, respectively.

 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| I don't think I've read any of his manga but.. RIP |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| reading his list on baka update, i just realize i am read more of his hentai works... O_o oh well, RIP... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| RIP I remember playing a few of the Zenki games but never read any of the manga, they're ok overall. |
 |
| RIP sir. You will be missed. |
 |
| I might have never touched any of his works personally but this is still pretty sad. R.I.P. |
| So sad, he was still too young. From his works I only knew and watched Zenki. A nice memory from my childhood. |
| Zenki, one of my first anime during my childhood. RIP. |
| RIP Mr. Yoshihiro. My condolence goes to his family and friends. |
