The New York Times reported the passing of Peter Keefe on Friday.

He was the creator of Voltron which he based on the Japanese animation he admired. As a result, he helped usher in the popular wave of anime and anime influenced cartoons which are just a few clicks shorts of dominating television programming.

Mr. Keefe may have passed at the too young age of 57, but he has contributed to a legacy which has yet to even reach adolescence.
