Very sad news out of Japan from Anime News Network.

ANN confirmed with Jan Scott Frazier, a close friend of the deceased, and other anime industry members that producer and animator Hiroshi Kakoi passed away during the March 11 earthquake (Tōhoku Chihō Taiheiyō-oki Jishin) and tsunami. Kakoi's wife Kumiko survived the disaster.
Hiroshi Kakoi was a key animator on the original SDF: Macross and a Producer on Macross II.

Our deepest condolences to his family.
