Yuko Asuka (Bioman's Farrah) has passed away

Yeah, they met when he guest-starred on Bioman; after they both quit acting, they started a scuba-diving business together: http://www.motherearth-okinawa.com/staff.html

No! Sigh, I'm going to miss her. :disappoin

RIP Yuuko. Thank you for everything.

That's terrible. Had no idea she was only 56 either. R.I.P.
