After battling his illness for a year, Megahiyo passed away on June 9th. It was so sudden that I can scarcely believe it myself, but I think that Megahiyo was able to live a happy life thanks to all of your support. I am deeply grateful.

During his fight, he received many warm words and much encouragement. He always expressed his thanks towards all his fans, and even now, I remember his profile while he joyfully drew away. He said that because the world is full of so many hardships, he wanted to show a world that was bright and happy.

If in the hard times, the works of Megahiyo cheered you up even a little, I think that Megahiyo would have been happy too.

I'm limited as to what I can do, but I'm thinking that I want to hand out the finished works of Megahiyo to everyone at the various events.

Everyone, please take care.

I am Megahiyo's older brother.
