Hello everyone,

Masa was cremated on Saturday.

Here is a note from Eri:

Hello everyone,

This is Eri, his wife. We had the cremation ceremony yesterday. For our family, the last 6 years have been a long, long battle. He never gave up and held on to hope that he could win this battle until the very end. I believe that in the end, he defeated this disease with use his own body. He was a very respectful and wonderful husband. And now I am so relieved that he doesn’t have to fight and suffer anymore.

I greatly appreciate all your support. I couldn't have gotten through it without your help. From now on, Kent, Lico and I will live the future he wanted to live with the precious memories he left behind.

I can’t say it enough, but thank you so much for everything!

P.S. I share one of our family memories to you.
