Shawn Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Gwyn, aka @Tochiro ,sent me this today...lets all particpate with what we can! Miyatake's wife was the famous L.Cat, whom you've ALL seen her incredible art of the decades. https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/49308-rip-kazutaka-miyatakes-wife/#comment-1600187 Lets show some MacrossWorld support back to the people who have provided us with so much joy. Shawn Shawn, On Saturday, a group of us in Tokyo, under the leadership and guidance of Tenjin, launched a GoFundme campaign for SDF-1/Destroid/Zentradi/Yamato designer Kazutaka Miyatake who has been living in temporary housing ever since a fire destroyed part of his home studio and took the life of his wife last year. Reception to the campaign has been both overwhelming and humbling. While it's already met its initial goal, every bit helps, so we were wondering if it would be possible for you to make a post about it in the MacrossWorld Forums to help raise awareness? Details are in the links below but please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Many thanks and best regards, Gwyn.
