Update 05/07:
The media are covering the passing of Dan Oniroku. These pics are from the "popular" press/sports papers.
Update 05/22:
I have changed Dan's age at the time of his passing from 79 to 80. Sources from Wikipedia to SMpedia to Master K agree that Dan was 80 when he died. The mainstream media all seem to be reporting that he was 79. There is a reason for this which I hope to go into in a future article. His correct date of birth seems to be April 16, 1931.
