Takahashi Kazuki, ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!’ Creator, Found Dead at 60

Public broadcaster NHK reported that Takahashi’s lifeless body was found in the sea, about 300 metres off the coast of Nago in Okinawa Province. It reported that he was wearing snorkeling equipment at the time.

Takahashi, real name Takahashi Kazuo, and also known as Kazumasa, started as a manga artist in the early 1980s, but did not achieve great success until he created the “Yu-Gi-Oh!” a comic series for boys in 1996. The series focuses on a boy who solves an ancient puzzle and awakens in himself a gaming alter-ego.

Even more significantly, it led to the creation of a trading card game in which players battle against each other. Intended as a one-off, the game was first published by Bandai and later by Konami and became a worldwide phenomenon with national and international competitions. It was certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the trading card game with the world’s highest sales.
