Talk:Yasuhiro Takemoto

Death
Allegedly he's one of the casualties of Kyoto Animation studio fire according to a nearby poetry society so it's probably a good idea to look out for confirmation of that. - Anon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8084:AC3:CB00:99C3:509C:90B0:D346 (talk) 11:58, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * There are currently reports that he's missing, but they're all from websites that aren't reliable nor were they mentioned in Japanese media sources. Let's wait before confirming. lullabying (talk) 17:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
