Tokyo, Japan - Japanese film producer Yoshinobu Nishizaki, co-created the "Space Battleship Yamato
" anime series died last Sunday afternoon. At around 12:35pm on November 7, the Coast Guard received word that Nishizaki had fallen into the water from a ship named YAMATO (485 tons), while it was docked at Futami Harbor of Chichi-jima (part of the Bonin Islands). A rescue boat was able to retrieve him about 20 minutes later, but he died shortly after that. In addition to "Space Battleship Yamato," Nishizaki's works included the series "Wansa-kun," based on a character designed by Osamu Tezuka.
