Producing a memorable anime requires talent and dedication, and Dragon Ball Super was no different. Veteran Yoichi Onishi , one of the series' main animators, has passed away, leaving a gap in the world of animation.
The news came through Eisaku Inoue , Onishi's colleague and also 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 revealed his regret at not being able to meet him before his death.
I received a message from animator Tomita-kun. It appears that Yoichi Onishi-san, who designed the characters for “Jigoku Sensei Nube”, “Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten!”, “Kanon”, “Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo”, among others, has passed away. He was close to my table, so whenever he went to serve coffee, I checked 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 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 vast career in animation leaves a legacy that will be remembered for decades.
Our hearts go out to Yoichi Onishi's friends and family at this difficult time. Finally, keep following AnimeNew for more news and tributes in the world of anime.
