Kazuki Takahashi has passed away

Breaking news- Kazuki Takahashi, the mangaka behind Yu-Gi-Oh has passed away. Japanese news reports indicate it was a snorkeling accident.

I grew up reading Yu-Gi-Oh, and although I was never rich enough to play the card game, I had one of the GBA games that I played religiously.

After Miura, this one hurts as well.

RIP, you will be missed.

The panels were the main feature. JPHiP caught up with the festivities on Sunday and we were blown away. First we had cult hero Jon Heder of Napoleon Dynamite fame. He admitted that he felt right at home at conventions such as Edmonton Expo.  “I love geeky stuff,” he said imitating his character. The Zelda fan entertained the crowd with his dance moves and interpretation of what it would be like if he was cast as Batman’s sidekick Robin.
