TheBistroButcher666 228 Posted February 22, 2012 Very tragic. Wish for the best for Kentz and those close to him. I wasn't a fan (just learned who he was because of all of this) but it's very admirable that he is making the best of the last few years of his life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trombe 22025 Posted May 5, 2012 after diagnosis, it is found at 2012/05/02 that tumors in 兼継(kentz)'s liver have been greatly reduced, and he will have surgery in 2012/06 (maybe implying that he could live much longer)...I'm glad to hear this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JRD 5156 Posted May 5, 2012 That's nice but for some reason now....it sounds like KISAKI wannabe richman trick for me. :V Well death is a taboo subject in Japan, so I'm thinking he didn't want to get a liver transplant and decided it was his time to go. I'm glad he can have more time on this planet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
