Rest in peace to the woman behind Kiki’s Delivery Service 🕊️
Akiko Hayashi, the legendary Japanese picture-book author and illustrator, passed away at the age of 81. While anime fans may know Kiki’s Delivery Service through Studio Ghibli’s 1989 film, Hayashi was the artist behind the illustrations of the novel, giving readers one of the earliest printed images of Kiki and Jiji before the story became an anime classic.
Hayashi was best known for her warm, delicate portrayals of childhood in books like Miki’s First Errand, Good Evening Mr. Moon, Aki and the Fox, and There’s a Hippo in My Bath! Her work captured small emotions with rare tenderness: a child’s nervous first step, a quiet moment under the moon, or the courage hidden in everyday life.
Her illustrations helped shape the visual memory of generations, from picture-book readers in Japan and Korea to fans who later discovered Kiki’s story through Ghibli.
Rest in peace, Akiko Hayashi 🌙

Every single time I see something about the Knicks being champions I’m still amazed. I used to fantasize about us winning it all before having to snap back to reality. Now every time I snap back to reality, the reality is that the Knicks are champions. Just nuts. Wow.
Shia LaBeouf admits he cheated on every single woman he was ever with and never once told any of his sexual partners he gets cold sores
“The man that was involved in that relationship was constantly comparing himself to other people.”
“I was a dishonest person in that I was wearing this mask. I've gotten cold sores my whole life, got them from my mother. I get two cold sores a year when I'm stressed out or I'm sick. I never told any of my sexual partners about getting cold sores. Never.”
“To not tell somebody you get cold sores twice a year is a heinous manipulation, you know.”
Crash and Spyro studio, Toys for Bob, has reiterated that it would “love” to work on Rare and Xbox’s dormant Banjo-Kazooie series.
“If the opportunity ever arose, that’d be amazing. We love the franchise.”
