In recent years, the Japanese animation and comics industry has lost incredibly talented artists like Kentaro Miura and Shichiro Kobayashi, sadly joining them is Takahiro Kimura. Character designer and animator Kimura is best known for his contributions to the anime of Code Geass.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion was one of the most popular animes in the two years 2006-2007, and although it ended more than 15 years ago, the universe created by Ichiro Okouchi is still very popular, and several fans have continued to follow the side stories told in the light novel, written by animation industry veteran Goro Taniguchi, Atsuro Yomino and other prominent authors.

Kimura played an integral role in the production of the anime Original, who was both the leading animator of the artist group Sunrise Studio and the designer, refining and tweaking his own style i concepts proposed by the CLAMP group for the main characters. Obviously, Kimura has also participated in many other projects that have become relevant in the industry, such as City Hunter 3, GaoGaiGar or Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.

At the news of death from amyloidosis, a rare disease that causes the formation of a protein in some organs and which in large quantities leads to a decline in bodily functions, Kimura's fans scattered around the world wanted to commemorate him by organizing Geass code iterations . Finally, we recall that a new Code Geass light novel set in Victorian London has been announced.
