The Murakami in Murakami-Wolf-Swenson has passed away

AFAIK he had nothing to do with TMNT (having left MWS by that point), but this is still sad news.

True it was only Fred Wolf but his label is attached to the end credits and has an indirect responsiblity to Turtle Mania! Rest well Mr Murakami!

AFAIK, yes. Charles Swenson, interestingly enough, directed the X-rated animation film Dirty Duck, was heavily involved with Rugrats and AAAHH!! Real Monsters, and created Mike, Lu & Og, among other things FYI.

Even though he didn't really have a part in it

R.i.p must feel for any name attached to the original series.

Wait. The "Murakami" wasn't for "Glen Murakami" - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Murakami)??? I always assumed it was.
