The Hiroshima landslide disaster, which sadly to say I had not been paying much attention to, hit very hard today in a personal way.

I just found out that a very nice guy, Kei Togawa, with whom I worked just two years ago on a computer graphics project, was home in Hiroshima visiting his family and was killed in the disaster. Details are still scarce.

I can’t believe it. I’m very shaken and saddened by this, and am remembering the times we spent together on the project. He was only 32. He was extremely quiet, but very friendly.

Rest in peace, Togawa-san.

Here is a photo I took on October 26, 2011 during a project meeting. Togawa-san is on the left.

The world seems so strange lately. And you never know what is going to happen.
