Kazuki Takahashi, the Japanese manga artist who created Yu-Gi-Oh!, was found dead on Wednesday. He was 60 years old.
According to NBC News, Takahshi’s body was discovered by the Coast Guard about 1,000 feet offshore from Okinawa Island, Japan. He was wearing snorkeling equipment when he was found, and officials told the outlet there were “damages to his body which looked like they were caused by some sort of marine animal.” An abandoned vehicle at a nearby beach rented by the artist helped to confirm his identity. He had been traveling alone.
