Thank you very much for your continued warm support. Yanagimaru passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025, after a long battle with illness. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your kindness during his life. The news was announced through Mr. Yanagimaru’s X. Ms. Yanagimaru was popular for her soft body and poses such as Y-balancing and 180-degree spread legs, and was affectionately known as “the cosplayer who could bend well. In fact, his battle with the disease began in February of 2012. In November of last year, she informed her fans that she would be hospitalized for a long period of time starting in December for tests using X-rays. She has been suffering from a series of physical ailments that are hard to describe, starting with an ear problem that developed in February of this year, and has undergone various tests and hospitalizations, mainly for her brain (in fact, she was hospitalized for most of August; she wanted to go to Comiket…) However, even now the cause is unknown and doctors are still in an unknown state, I’m excited about subject Y.] The cause of the disease seems to have been unknown even though tests were conducted at a large hospital. When he updated X on March 6 of this year to report that he would be discharged from the hospital and resume his activities, he wrote, 《I have suspected a brain malfunction, but unfortunately the cause was not found this time either. There are many unknown parts of the brain, and it seems that there are many diseases that do not show up in findings in the early stages,” he explained. As for the future, we will continue to treat him with medication and conduct a brain scan once every six months. The main symptom is “a generalized feeling of weakness,” and the patient’s “symptoms” are “a feeling of being unable to move. The main complaint was “general tremors,” he said. After being discharged from the hospital, Yanagimaru was energetically engaged in offline meetings and photo shoots, but on August 27, he announced that he was suspending his entertainment activities.
