We are sorrowed to report that our Author Guest of Honor Sakyo Komatsu passed away this July, 2011.

 
Thanks to all our fannish friends around the world for their messages of sympathy and support and enquiries about our well being.  To our great regret, Japan has suffered a severe tragedy due to the earthquake, but primarily due to the tsunami that followed. The areas that have been most affected are in Tohoku, the eastern coast of Honshu island some 150 miles/ 250 km north of Tokyo.  Most of the Nippon 2007 committee folks in Japan live in the Kanto region in and around Tokyo and are safe and well, albeit shocked and saddened by the events, and worried about friends and family living in the badly affected regions.

 

It is with great sadness we report that our Fan Guest of Honor Takumi Shibano passed away this January, 2010.
