Farewell, queen.

Come ON!! We just lost James Earl Jones and Atsuko Tanaka, now this!

Rest in Peace, Shinohara-San. You shall be missed.

RIP and my condolences to her family, especially Hiroshi Watari, who I learned upon hearing this news happens to be her husband.

RIP

Damn, this is a bad year for the color yellow. R.I.P. :(

We're losing too many legends this year.

She was Naruto's mom, Sakura Kinomoto's supportive teacher, Misako Mikoto's mom, but most of all the Sailor Guardian who embodied the ideal that you could be strong and feminine. And in each role she conveyed so much personality, strength, and love into them.

RIP Emi Shinohara.

May God rest her soul.
