Kazuo Koike, the author of the landmark manga Lone Wolf and Cub has died at age 82, from complications related to pneumonia. The story has been adapted many times over the years; and remains influential to this day. Koike also worked with Takao Saito on the acclaimed Golgo 13, and students of his Gekiga Sonjuku course include Ranma 1/2 creator Rumiko Takahashi.
I wish the best for Koike's colleagues, friends, and family at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
I did not know he died. Such a shame. May he RIP
