Yoshinobu Nishizaki, the man who launched SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO, has left us — taken by the sea: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... asses-away
It's crazy that he died falling off a ship named Yamato. It's like hearing Steven Spielberg was eaten by a shark.
He owned the ship — a marine research vessel — which he named "Yamato" (in English)... The eight passengers onboard are currently being questioned about the incident.
