So passes an unsung great of our time.

[I'm Hiding In Your Closet]

Oh no!

There goes Tokyo....

I saw him at new York comic con. He was so pissed at the time, so I didn't go over to him.

Now I'm sad I didn't.

I will miss him...

May he rest peacefully...

"Pissed" as in 'angry' or "pissed" as in 'inebriated?'

[Freehold DM]

Angry. I'm American.

The above being sort of a redundant statement, at the moment. :P

I have to ask: What could he have been angry about? Are comic cons not jolly places?

[Sissyl]

Obviously all the cardboard little buildings he was not allowed to destroy?

Rest in peace.

1983, a photo op has him in the suit one last time.

Thanks for everything, mister Nakajima. My childhood wouldn't have been the same without you.
