YOSHIDA MEDICAL RESEARCH MOURNS THE LOSS OF MARINE BIOLOGIST
Tagruato suffered a large loss yesterday when Kazui Ichigawa, 63, and his family were found dead early in the morning.
His body, along with the bodies of his wife, Rie Ichigawa, 55, daughter Norika, 36, and granddaughter Kyoko,10, was discovered in the Daisetsu-San National Park at a popular RV camping area. Early word from the police is that it was a gas explosion in their trailer.
In a statement released to the press, press consultant Aki Ito said, “We are shocked and saddened at the sudden passing of perhaps our finest Marine Biologist. Ichigawa was not only an employee, but also a friend. He died with honor.”
His tragic death comes mere days after he abruptly retired from YMR. When informed of that, Ito replied, “It is a shame and a tragedy- this is a man who always put his family first.”
A close friend and co-worker (who asked to remain anonymous) believes that Ichigawa uncovered a magnificent discovery before he retired. “Unfortunately, his computer and files, even ones he kept in his home safe, are nowhere to be found. Tagruato is currently conducting a search for them.”
Ichigawa is survived by his son-in-law, Toshiro, 39, who was away on business at the time of the accident.
A memorial service will be held at Tagruato Headquarters. For details, contact a Tagruato representative at +81-3-5403-6318.
Any evidence of foul play?
I sympathize with your ’cause’, but, in common with a number of readers I’m sure, never like to hear of the untimely death of anyone, especially in such tragic circumstances.
Sounds very fishy to me. I think there is more here than a mere accident.
What was Toshiro’s father-in-laws magnificent discovery, I wonder…
Foul Play?
We believe and we care.. down with tagruato!!!!!!!!1 No slusho
is crossing these lips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I have a feeling we’ll soon find out what exactly Ichigawa discovered, and something tells me it’s gonna be HUGE….
something really terrible will happen on 1-18-08 and tagrato will have something to do with it
Hmmm… seems Tagruato will use any means to cover up sensitive information… even kill their own?
Oh please. I think as we all know, if Tagruato is involved, something has to be up here. Foul play anyone? We can’t let those monsters just brush this aside!
I love this site.
Tagruato’s army is now one person weaker! Hurrah!
I suspect foul-play.
slusho you cant drink just six
hmmmmm….
I would like to hear more about your efforts against Tagruato.
much suspicious!
Everything surrounding Tagruato is polluted!
Thanks for informing us!! T.I.D.O. Wave was a great idea and you are all doing very well to bring down bloodsucking Tagruato. But what of this magnificent discovery….?
so sad….
He got what was coming to him…
…is coming from the sea.
I’m here and I care!
I KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED! The marine biologist knew too much about Tagruato and was going to spill the truth, so when he retired that evil company killed the man to silence him about their evil operations. We need to dig up info on the Chuai station. Something big is happening there…
Sounds suspicious. Maybe kazui discovered something big before he retired. What he discovered went so much against his personal beliefs that he quit and maybe even threatened to expose this find to the world. Tagruato could not let this happen so they disposed of Kazui, and are now looking for the find so they can rehide it or somethin.
Is the dumbo octopus your mascot?
Did you blow him up?
i would just like to say that you dirty hippies should stop worrying about tagruato because karma’s a bitch and their’s has gone bad.
I’ve heard rumors of trouble at the newest tagruato drilling site is T.I.D.O a part of this?
Hmmmm I wonder what he could have discovered?
How do i join and support the cause?
Let Tagruato suffer the consequences of their acts! Let Mother Nature reign once again.
It’s good to see a group dedicated to non-violent means of protestation against the rapists who have eaten away at the planet that we share with so many other lifeforms. Good luck in your quest to bring these people to the light of day and force them to face their sins against the world.
tagurato obviously killed their own guy because he was going to spread world of the magnificent discovery he made that was in reality probably pretty horrible and could have harmed the company.
What are you implying with this article?
sounds shady to me. maybe he had too many slushos.
Remarkable, it’s all YMR!
To be honest, and to all the members of Les Guerriers de Mère-Terre, this sounds like a cover up job. Mysterious explosion just happens to kill Kazui days after he finds a “magnificent discovery”, then the files on his computer with the backups in his home safe “are nowhere to be found”? now to some this may seem obvious, but someone has to post it.
If the files are found, please notify me at once. I believe some of my own materials will be in there.
T.I.D.O. Wave, many thanks to you for spearheading this fight for Mother Earth. Tagruato is a menace that is killing our planet. You have my support. Again, thank you.

What kind of work was Ichigawa doing before he retired?
Aren’t you being too overzealous?
ha!!!! you think that you can stop me? TRY IT!!! muahahahahaha!
hmmm
salut
You guys are “The Cause” aren’t you?
Anyways, I heard you guys had a contest or something — how do I enter?
- Pr0
I just wanted to say “Way to go! T.I.D.O! Love what you are doing. Long live Mother Earth!
I am interested in your organization and I feel that I could contribute to your cause. How can someone like me help?
There Tagruato goes again. They always have to be killing something.
Please keep me informed. A friend of mine also went missing after he work on Chuai Station for 24 days.
Seabed Nectar. He found out exactly what it does and Tagruato didn’t want him leaving with it. There are problems with the new off shore drilling site and everything is about to come out.
Down With Tagruato!
There should be a boycott on Slusho!
Down with Tagruato!
Awesome job on hacking tagruato, im just hoping some of the damage they have done can be reversed.
Slusho loves you!
NO SLUSHO!
Money causes chronic shortsightedness. The only way to hurt Tagruato is through their bank accounts.
AMNESIA say “Down with Tagruato”
and don’t go in to the water =/
Tagruato needs to learn a lesson. I pray every day for their destruction.
is this real?..this can’t be real..what is the cause of this….how did this happen?
Down with Tagruato!
How can I help you in Germany? Tagruato has here one of their European headquarters.
if there is anything i can do, i am in NYC
I agree that Tagruato is definitely up to no good… but I can’t imagine ever boycotting Slusho!… I mean, I can never drink just six…
It seems that Ichigawa was on to something COLOSSAL. Having quickly retired for “personal” reasons he probably was discovered by “the company” and fled, in fear of his life, with his family. In hopes of blowing this companies secret wide open, Ichigawa, along with his family were killed in an “accidental” gas tank explosion. Obvious cover-up? Keep an eye out on the web for Ichigawa’s son-in-law: Toshiro. I have a feeling that he could be in grave danger if Ichigawa made contact with him before his untimely passing.
Of course this is just speculation…anyone else care to elaborate?
Are you protesting at the memorial service? and what’s up with the Glass Helmets fundraiser?
DOWN WITH TAGRUATO!!!!! DOWN WITH GANU YOSHIDA!!!!!!! We as people of this earth need to band together and save mother earth!!!!!! who’s with me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
He’s not the first and he won’t be the last, unless we do something. Find me.
Where have you been all this time? I’ve been against them all along, and finally I find a well organized group that has the same goals as I do! Where and how can I donate to your cause?
It is true that Mother Earth needs to be saved…
And, i agree Tagruato is a Planet Killer…
But cant we still keep Slusho!…
The kids love it…
Just how deep does their new rig go?
hey, has anyone heard of the animals’ strange and perhaps lethal reactions after Tagruato reported their “good” and “happy” reactions?
Ganu, DARN YOU!!!
Who knows what depths Tagruato will sink to?
Heartless multi-national corporations are destroying our planet!
Thank you for standing up for us! We are with you!
wow, thats insane. Foul play in my book. Id bet some slusho on it
Ichigawa’s son-in-law…What was his last name??? Toshiro–H????? If anyone out there knows, please, tell me!
I would bet you my next paycheck that the gas tank was just fine.
just saw the Slusho commercial…now I’m mentally scarred.
MUST…GET…REVENGE!
I have been outraged for the last time by Tagruato! We must all join together to fight for our cause… Before it is too late.
Something is wrong… very, very wrong.
This is interesting!
Hey, I’d love to join Tido, email me with how I can join or at least donate.
P.S. Teddy Hansen… R U there?
It was no accident. He knew something.
According to me i think Tagruato is destroyng the planet earth.
Has anyone tried the phone number listed yet? I can’t get through
Scary
i have a bag of nickels and a lighter. i think we can fight them with these tools.
Can random people actually comment on this?
This website has been very informative. Thanks.
any news on why he resigned?
yeah something is definitely going on
Tagruato is destroying our planet! Mother Earth would be much happier without it!
Great work! How can I join the cause?
Tagruato obviously has something to do with this. The most proficient marine biologist at their disposal suddenly retires from the company without warning, only to be killed with his family a few days later? And what about his research files going missing? INCLUDING the ones in his safe?
Tagruato killed this man because they feared he would expose whatever it was he found. Had he stayed with the company, he might have lived, but his leaving the company so abruptly signaled panic. They killed him, disposing of his family in the process, then took all of his research files. The fate of those files is up to speculation, but I would be willing to bet that anything important to the company will survive.
As for the “search” they are conducting, it’s obviously a ruse to keep the media off their backs. The only other alternative is that the files were already hidden or taken by someone else. Either way, the company is hiding something big.
Drilling for oil is not something I stand against, so long as the local ecosystems are not disrupted beyond repair (that is, QUICK repair). I’m just waiting for a new fuel source that’s much less expensive than oil to come around.
But whatever this company is up to, it’s big. And they’re doing a good job of hiding it.
Tell me more!
how can you die with honor when your gas tank explodes?
this is crazy.. slusho is too cute to be soo evil
I have a feeling that Tagruato is planning something. I hope somebody is able to stop it.
As sad as this news is, it is just one more in a seemingly endless series of “accidents” and “unexplained incidents” involving Tagruato.
This is very sad news. I feel sorry for the son-in-law. He must be sad since he lost his wife and ten year-old daughter. =( I support Taguato. I don’t think they’re doing anything wrong.
I think tagruato is totally not involved with anything. They’re just merely doing what the rest of the world does all the time - exploring the world and opportunities!
Of course he knew something. Why on earth would his family happen to be camping and they all just happened to be using an RV that just HAPPENED to have a gas problem. The guy worked for Yoshida Medical Research, it’s not as though he didn’t get paid enough to get a decent RV. All i’m trying to say is, a company as evil as Tagruato can’t be denied. Also if anyone reads this, it will be a miracle. E-mail me with your thoughts.
it’s not a question that he knew something. but we need to find out what he knew. i’d check with his son in law.
What could he have discovered that would cause him to walk away from his work? And where is his son-in-law? Strange that everyone in the family died except him.
Guys you do know what REALLY happened at that Taraguto drilling station right?
Wow…
down with Tagruato. It’s all their fault
Stop Tagruato before they ruin the earth even more!!
Are anyone of you guys still alive ?
I know what depths Tagruato will sink to.
Look at all of the horrible things they have done to us and our planet over the years. Its sickening.
Death, pollution..everything.
I care!
foul-play
Where is Teddy? What happened to him?
I miss teddy!
Tagruato will pay, soon…
