Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh, has passed away at age 60.
“Manga artist Kazuki Takahashi, best known as the creator of the Yu-Gi-Oh series (and the popular card game it’s based on), has been found dead. Takahashi began his manga career in 1982, and for the next 14 years struggled to find success on titles like Fighting Hawk and Tennenshoku Danji Buray. In 1996, however, he released Yu-Gi-Oh, and the rest was history.”

The Godfather, Misery, and Elf actor James Caan passed away at age 82. Here are the reasons why he’s leaving behind a legacy more significant than his career.
“For all of his posturing, Caan clearly loved his job. What he hated was the pretentiousness that came with being a leading man. After his Academy Award-nominated performance as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather, he knew that he’d never fully escape it. But Caan, who died at age 82 this week,...

Kazuki Takahashi, creator of the global manga and trading-card sensation Yu-Gi-Oh!, has died in his native Japan, the New York Times reported Thursday. He was 60.
He had been snorkeling while on vacation alone in southern Japan, and his body was found off the coast of Nago, the Times reported, citing Japanese Coast Guard officials. A cause of death was still under investigation.
Takahashi worked as a manga artist since the early 1980s. His 1996 one-off story about a boy who duels challengers with magical abilities wound up running for eight years in popular comic magazines, inspiring several long-running anime series, motion pictures, books and video game adaptations. “Master Duel,” the latest game inspired by the series, was released earlier this year.
But it was the trading-card version, released first in Japan in 1999 and three years later in the U.S., that made Yu-Gi-Oh! an international sensation.
