The family of Shutaro Iida, formerly of Konami and most recently known for his work on the Bloodstained series, has announced his death at the age of 52. Iida had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September 2024, and had been updating people on his condition via social media until recently.

"Shutaro, known as the Curry Sage, who had been battling illness for some time, passed away on February 10 due to pancreatic cancer," said a statement from his family posted to Iida's X account.

"We deeply appreciate the kindness shown to him during his lifetime and respectfully announce his passing. Shutaro’s adventure in this world has ended, but his work lives on. We sincerely hope you will continue to enjoy the games he created."
