Producing a memorable anime requires talent and dedication, and Dragon Ball Super was no exception. Veteran Yoichi Onishi , one of the series' main animators, passed away, leaving a void in the animation world.
The news came through 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 mourned the loss of his friend and expressed his regret at not being able to meet him before his death.
I received a message from animator Tomita-kun. It seems that Yoichi Onishi-san, who designed the characters for "Jigoku Sensei Nube," "Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten!", "Kanon," "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo," and others, has passed away. He used to be near my desk, so whenever I went to serve coffee, I'd check to see if he was in his seat, but for the last two or three days, he hasn't shown up, 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 well before, 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 has worked on notable 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 hearts go out to Yoichi Onishi's friends and family during this difficult time. Finally, stay tuned to AnimeNew for more news and tributes from the anime world.
