I'm confident that most of these seiyuu are okay. The epicenter of the quake was 250 miles off the coast of Northern Japan, most of the damage and death is in Miyagi and on the coastline of Fukushima. The death toll thankfully is from the Tsunami not the jiishin. Neigborhoods and prefectures in Tokyo are intact,buildings swayed but didn't collapse. 4 million central Japan resident are without power.

Japan is very earthquake prone and very jiishin conceinece. They're known as the top disaster prepared country in the world. They've spent decades developing quake techology and even have special helmets for falling debris.


Sorry for my ignorance, but what is "Jiishin"?

Glad they're ok (hope their friends and family are too)! I hope that Akira Toriyama, An Nakahara, Sakai Mayu, and everyone else out there are ok too!

What about Kana Hanazawa? I am really worried about her right now and I hope she and everyone else in the situation in Japan are safe. If you can please give me any updates on her I would really appreciate it.

Sorry if this has already been said, but Maaya Sakamoto and Yana Toboso have been reported to be alive. Does anyone know the status of Hayao Miyazaki, Jun Fukuyama, or Hidekazu Himaruya?
