Producing a memorable anime requires talent and dedication, and Dragon Ball Super was no different. Veteran Yoichi Onishi , one of the series' main animators, passed away, leaving a void in the world of animation.
The news came via Eisaku Inoue , Onishi's colleague and also a renowned animator, known for his work on One Piece , Saint Seiya , Tenchi Muyo , and Dragon Ball Z.
In a Facebook post, Inoue lamented the loss of his friend and revealed his regret at not having been able to meet him before his death.
I received a message from the animator Tomita-kun. It seems that Yoichi Onishi-san, who did character designs for “Jigoku Sensei Nube”, “Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten!”, “Kanon”, “Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo”, among others, has passed away. He used to sit near my desk, so whenever I went to get coffee, I would check if he was there, but he hasn't shown up in the last two or three days, which is a shame.
A legacy in Dragon Ball Super:
Therefore, Onishi contributed to episodes of Dragon Ball Super Goku Black arc . His participation in the franchise began much earlier, with iconic films such as Dragon Ball: The Path to Power , Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler , Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan , and Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound .
However, in addition to Dragon Ball, Onishi worked on landmark works such as Assassination Classroom , A Certain Scientific Railgun , Edens Zero , Digimon Adventure , and World Trigger . His extensive career in animation leaves a legacy that will be remembered for decades.
Our thoughts are with Yoichi Onishi's friends and family during this difficult time. Finally, keep following AnimeNews for more news and tributes from the world of anime.
