Legendary Writer, Keiko Nobumoto Dead at 54 - Oni - 12-12-2021
A few days ago Keiko Nobumoto passed away, due to cancer. Nobumoto was known for writing for several of my favorites, including Cowboy Bebop and Tokyo Godfathers. RIP.
Quote:Anime writer Dai Sato reported on Friday that screenwriter Keiko Nobumoto (Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Tokyo Godfathers, Macross Plus) passed away on December 1 after a battle with esophageal cancer. She was 57. Her family held a private service on December 4, and director Shinichiro Watanabe confirmed her passing to Sato.
Nobumoto was born in Hokkaido on March 13, 1964. She debuted as a scriptwriter by winning the Third Fuji TV Young Scenario Grand Prix in 1989, and she eventually wrote for live-action, animation, and stage productions.
Nobumoto was the original creator of the Wolf's Rain anime. She oversaw the series scripts for Cowboy Bebop and Wolf's Rain, and wrote the screenplays for Cowboy Bebop: The Movie and both the original video anime and movie editions of Macross Plus. She collaborated with Satoshi Kon on the Tokyo Godfathers film. She also contributed scripts for Space Dandy and Samurai Champloo.

This is very sad. 57 sounds old to some people, but it's really not that old at all. I feel like I should get to know some more of her word outside of Cowboy Bebop, as she seemed to be a fantastic writer.

I'm hoping this has no influence on the quality of the anime. After all, it virtually always has a detrimental influence on anime, as history has demonstrated.
