Another animation legend's dead? that sucks :(
One of the characters he designed, Muttley used be be my favourite cartoon character (I still have a poster of his likeness in my room) so this grim news is rather depressing to me.

Oh Takamotosan, You brought me such joy as a child with Scooby Doo! Plus, you worked on Cinderella.
A sad passing.  :'(

Aww, that's too bad.    :( I loved Scooby Doo as a kid.  RIP, good sir.

His story reminded me alot of my neighbor Tak Matamoro, who was also in the internment camps and also has wife named Barbara.
Hey you, out there in the cold,
Getting lonely, getting old,
Can you hear me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles,
With itching feet and fading smiles,
Can you feel me?
Hey You! Don\'t help them to bury the light.
Don\'t give in without a fight.

Wow, a lot of people liked this show. I watched it a lot when I was about 7 years old, and it is a shame that he is gone.
