Kazuki Takahashi, author of the popular manga series “Yu-Gi-Oh,” has been found dead, NHK reported Thursday. He was 60.

Takahashi was found floating while wearing snorkeling gear in the waters off Nago, Okinawa Prefecture, on Wednesday morning, NHK quoted authorities as saying. Coast guard officials confirmed that the body was Takahashi’s on Thursday, it said.

The coast guard is looking into the cause of death, NHK said.

What a shock, YGO was my childhood, much, much more than Pokemon.
I believe YGO is still the 2nd biggest trading card game on the planet.

This is such a sad end for a great mangaka

It seems all the my childhood's authors are slowly passing away....

EDIT: So it seems he was found floating on water, biten by sharks. Holy wtf?

The manga and the first season were very dark until the trading card game becomes popular.

Then again, the main theme of the card game was summoning ancient gods/demons via cards.

It must have been Exodia. No amount of Blue eyes white dragons could have saved him.

But in all seriousness, RIP
