From Chikako:
Dear Yami's friends,
This is Yami's daughter Chikako writing from Yami's account.
Yoichi "Yami" Yamauchi passed away yesterday. His health had been declining for some time. His body expired and he passed away peacefully yesterday evening. Per Yami's wishes, his body is being cremated and his ashes will be scattered at some point in the future. There will not be a public funeral or service. Condolences can be posted on Facebook. Even though Yami was a public figure, please respect his family's privacy.
Kind regards,
Chikako Yamauchi
