Does anyone have any confirmations on:

Nobuhiko Okamoto
Iguchi Yuka
Kamiya Hiroshi
Asumi Kana
Fujimura Ayumi
Touyama Nao
Hidaka Rina
Tsugumi Ohba
Takeshi Obata
Kazuma Kamachi

I'm worried because they're not on the list.

Any news on the staff at SHIN-EI ANIMATION?

It's now been a whole week since the disaster.....

I hope there's a lot more still being found alive. In the Anime/Manga business and otherwise. Sad

keep checking news day and night...a friend of mine who survived this crisis said that japanese people are tough they are taking it calmly not panic..nor anything *thumbs up to japan*

I was wondering while checking the thread no one mention nor asking about:

Hajime no Ippo mangaka MORIKAWA Jyoji George

Can anyone confirm its safety ? any source? I tried checking on Google Personal Finder with no use..

I tracked down the blog of a gym that he either works at or owns (can't quite tell), which has been updated regularly, which suggests to me that he's *probably* okay. However, it doesn't actually specify anything about Morikawa's status, so I can't add him to the list at this time.

Not to be nitpicky, but just to be absolutely clear for my own peace of mind: When ANN posts, "Viz Media has confirmed with ANN that it has been in contact with its co-owners, Shogakukan and Shueisha, and that all of its creators are safe" (emphasis mine), is that latter "its" in reference to Viz Media, or Shogakukan and Shueisha? Because they're not equivalent. I think it's phrased a little unclearly because to me it sounds like it is referring to Viz and not necessarily all of Shogakukan & Shueisha (I'm pretty sure Viz doesn't pick up every single title by S & S). And before anyone refers me to "the spreadsheets," I'm pretty sure they're at least partly using ANN as a source in the first place and are not sufficient as proof in and of themselves.

Sorry if I'm being overly cautious.

The use of "its" was intentional. The person we talked to specifically said that all of "our" creators were fine, which I took to mean the creators that Viz publishes the works of.

Kunio Okawara's survival confirmed.

There's some reports that Masami Kurumada (the manga author of Saint Seiya) is apparently safe, is this true?

Also, is there ANY news about Hayao Miyazaki and other Studio Ghibli staff? I have to know!!! Crying or Very sad

--

To avoid spamming by posting twice, I'm also adding if any of these people are safe, they've made manga I've personally loved and they aren't on the google list yet:

Akihito Yoshitomi (Eatman)
Sai Yukino (Story of Saiunkoku)
Fuyumi Ono (Twelve Kingdoms)
Kyoto Mizuki (Candy Candy story creator)
Yumiko Igarashi (Candy Candy manga illustrator)
Ami Shibata (Jibaku-kun)
Sho Makura (Hell Teacher Nube)

I assume Sho Makura is probably fine because he worked for Shueisha and is from Aichi prefecture.

Glad to see I'm not the only one worried about Koyama and Morikawa, hope they're ok Sad

So do I... But I do know that many other people have been commenting on Koyama's blog since the earthquake/tsunami happened. But the funny thing is the comments themselves are just being show today...

That means it's possible he is alive, but right now it can't be proven... Confused

Morikawa's possible too.

Well, Shinichiro Miki is on the list, so he's fine. Mamoru Miyano is also on it, but the rest I don't know about.

Check Google Spreadsheet

Tomokazu Seki
Toshihiko Seki
T.M. Revolution

are listed there as confirmed safe.
