He couldn't have been that old, right? I'm guessing mid 60s, maybe?
OG DB premiered in 1986.
Dude almost single handidly opened Japansese animation to the masses in the west, which is a multi-billion $$ business now. Absolute Mt Rushmore type of figure for animation.
I know he had pulled back from the creative side a lot of the DB-verse, but he was still kind of the guiding light for the show/anime.
Gigantic loss in so many ways.
