It was announced that color designer Michiyo Yasuda has died at age 77 on October 5. The cause of death was an illness. A private funeral with her husband and relatives has already held.
Yasuda debuted as a color designer in 1976, working on Haha wo Tazunete Sanzenri, and in 1978 she worked on Mirai Shounen Conan, where she was fully in charge of the color designs for the first time. She was also the color designer for many prestigious Studio Ghibli films for more than 30 years until her retirement in 2008, where Gake no Ue no Ponyo was her last film. In 2013, she returned one last time to work on Kaze Tachinu with Hayao Miyazaki before his retirement. Yasuda worked on films such as Mononoke Hime, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi and Howl no Ugoku Shiro, and more.

Hideaki Anno has been dead since 1995.
Man I can't imagine life after death. The works you've done and how your life is viewed.
