I am glad that these guys are okay.

I believe Onosaka Masaya , Nojima Kenji and Kazuhiko Inoue are alright too (via twitter).

if anyone's interested, Mine Yoshizaki (creator of Sgt. Frog) has been updating his twitter quite frequently, and from what I can gather him and his family are ok too

Oh thank god Akamatsu's ok..and Azuma and Bisco-sensei is ok too! I'm so happy. Thank god, I'm so worried about the others there too. I hope Tanemura, Peach-Pit and Matsuri Hino is ok as well. So much so, I had to make an account and say something.

When I was visiting my Aunt, an earthquake hit very close to where she lived and where I was staying. Even though it wasn't too bad, it wasn't exactly mild either. It was really, really scary. I can't even imagine how devastating it is right now in Japan.

As for seiyuu(s), on 2ch there seems to be a complete list divided in male/female categories with the names of the ones that have confirmed being fine on the web.
It's here:
http://raicho.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/news4vip/1299868701/

So, if you're concerned about a seiyuu, get on the page, go to the search feature of your browser and put in the Kanji of his/her name, if the name is in one of the posts with the complete list (the ones with the huge amount of text and names in kanji) then he/she is fine Anime smile

Aki toyosaki is safe : http://ameblo.jp/toyosakiaki-blog/
Hikasa youko too : http://blog.livedoor.jp/hiyonikki/
Minako Kotobuki too (and according to her all sphere members so Ayahi Takagaki and Haruka Tomatsu too) : http://ameblo.jp/kotobukiminako-blog/
Ayana Taketatsu too : http://ameblo.jp/strawberry-ayana/
Chika Fujitō too :http://yaplog.jp/natsuiro_usagi/

Just to add to the list, I happen to be in touch with one of the Dream Machine staffers, and that person said everyone's ok.

Shouji Gatoh (Full Metal Panic! author), Shikidouji (Full Metal Panic! novel illustrator/character design), and Hiroshi Ueda (Full Metal Panic! SIGMA artist) have all been posting on twitter.

This is awful. Sad

Thank you guys for the coverage and information on donations, etc. Nao Yazawa has been updating via Facebook and Twitter - http://twitter.com/#!/NaoYazawa

I haven't done a diff, but there's more names on the other thread. [edit]OK, since the list is alphabetical and only goes down to 'h' I assume they're still confirming and updating[/edit]

Minori Chihara has now posted to her blog: http://minorhythm.jugem.jp/?eid=2342

Minari Endō seems to be alright. She's been tweeting all day.

It looks like this list is starting out alphabetically (and that's understandable, since there are a ton of industry folks on twitter/etc), but for anyone wondering about specific mangaka, there's a pretty big list of artists' Twitter accounts here (tanbishugi.com).

Looking around in aarinfantasy, I did see someone mention that Yamane Ayano (Finder series, Crimson Spell, past Yaoi-Con guest) "tweeted that she's fine & in an area out of the danger zone."
