Sad day for our community. I reckon it's not a sudden passing with consideration that they stopped the annual ADA party last year. RIP Amano Takashi, you have left great inspirations and influence this generation of aquascapers around the world.
Yes confirm. Actually you can tell that he is not in good health durinn last year NA party, he sudently look very old and lost a lot of weight
He's only 61. Young by Japanese standards. And cause of death is pneumonia. One of those things that can catch anyone off guard. It's indeed sad news and a great loss for the aquatic community around the world.

Dear Friends,
With our deepest sorrow, we announce that Takashi Amano, President & CEO of Aqua Design Amano Co., Ltd., passed away on August 4, 2015. It was Amano’s wish that his funeral to be conducted by his close family members only.
As Amano had been fighting an illness for several years, he kept working on his creative activities.
In last February, he accomplished a great achievement of creating the world’s largest planted layout, the 40m Nature Aquarium in Oceanário de Lisboa in Portugal. After attending its opening ceremony in late April, he was concentrating on treatment while continuing to work. His last job was to work on his autobiographical photo collection, “ORIGIN OF CREATION” and to select his works for the photo exhibition, starting from September 5th, titled as same as the book.
Keeping Amano’s message in our mind that we should look at Nature and take interest in Nature, we sincerely hope that people around the world continue to enjoy Nature Aquarium.
We are planning a farewell ceremony that will take place soon.
Details will be announced later.
Aqua Design Amano Co., Ltd.
Did they mention his cause of death? Who he leaves behind.
rumor said its stomach cancer
Only found out the news today. Discovered this hobby only about 9 months and know
about this genius the same time. Also was mystified to see his recent Youtube videos
which showed him much thinner. Did not realized he was already sick. RIP.
Now need to visit his final project in Lisboa.
May it be well looked after and preserved in his memory.
Same thoughts exactly ....
He will be sorely missed. He has inspired so many people all over the planet. I'm so glad for the inspiration that he has bestowed upon us.
