Hindustan TimesIn a disheartening development tied to one of Studio Ghibli's possibly saddest movies, Grave of the Fireflies, composer Michio Mamiya's death is only now being reported worldwide. Studio Ghibli's war film Grave of the Fireflies composer Michio Mamiya passed away last year. Other anime professionals remembered on Saturday for their enduring impact after their demise last year were director and manga creator Yoji Kuri, voice actors Taiki Matsuno, Toshiyuki Nishida, Noriko Ohara and Emi Shinohara, illustrator Mutsumi Inomata, artist Keiichi Tanaami and Dragon Ball's manga artist Akira Toriyama. In the anime circle, though most famously associated with the composition of the World War II film Grave of the Fireflies, Michio Mamiya was best known for his collaborations with Studio Ghibli co-founder Isao Takahata.
