Yoshihiro Togashi, the mangaka of Hunter x Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho, shared a picture he drew of Sailor Jupiter to honor the passing of Emi Shinohara. Emi Shinohara was the original voice actress for Sailor Jupiter/Kino Makoto in Sailor Moon.
The picture Togashi drew depicts Sailor Jupiter in her civilian persona of Kino Makoto. He didn’t include any text in his Tweet. It seems that he drew the picture while working on manga, as you can see lined art above the portrait. Many replies comment on how beautiful Makoto is in Togashi’s art style, as well as how lovely the tribute is. Some users also comment on Naoko Takeuchi, the mangaka and creator of Sailor Moon, as she is also Togashi’s wife.
Emi Shinohara passed away on September 8, 2024 at the age of 61 years old. The cause of death was an unspecified disease. She was best known for her work as Sailor Jupiter in the original Sailor Moon anime. Other prominent roles included Kushina Uzumaki in Naruto: Shippuden, Kaho Mizuki in Cardcaptor Sakura, and Agarate in Tales of Rebirth. She was also a tokusatsu actress, dub voice actress, and singer.
Volume 38 of Hunter x Hunter came out in Japan very recently, debuting on September 4, 2024. A new chapter of the manga will appear on October 7, 2024.
