From Gō Nagai
He was a distinguished manga creator who paved the way for sports manga. He was also kind person filled with a love for humanity. I feel as though the manga industry lost its central pillar.
To me, he was a friend I traveled together and played golf with, and a manga veteran I admired.
I am stricken with grief my heart is distraught, but as a manga creator following in his wake, I hope to work to make a bright future for the manga industry. I believe that is what Chiba-sensei would have wanted.
May you be reunited with [your younger brother] Akio in the afterlife. May you rest in peace

Your warmth was like the embodiment of the sun and I will always love you.
May you rest in peace.

I couldn't help…but say…”what.” Tetsuya Chiba. He is beyond the realm of “sensei” and made me a manga creator, showed me the allure of manga, and a demon when it came to drawing. He even slipped in my name the draft of one of his works… I always struggled with kanji, but out of respect for Tetsuya Chiba I wrote my penname in hiragana characters. Clasp hands in prayer.

It goes without saying he made countless wonderful work, and the Tetsuya Chiba Award was coveted gateway for young creators. To think how many talented creators won the award. May Tetsuya Chiba-sensei, a leader and titan in the manga industry, rest in peace.

His works greatly influenced me…and while our interactions were brief, they are all fond memories.
Thank you for everything.

The blurb Tetusya Chiba-sensei wrote for the wraparound jacket band on the 15th volume of The Climber are an irreplaceable treasure. The handwritten letter I received then is still framed on my wall. His kind words have saved me countless times.
When we met in person, I still remember his soft hands when we shook.
Chiba-sensei, thank you for your hard work. May you rest in peace.

Tetsuya Chiba-sensei. Thank you for everything.
I always thought my unwavering spirit, grit, tenacity was a part of me since I was born, but I realized I learned it all from Tetsuya Chiba's manga.

I would greet you every year at the Shueisha golf tournament, be we never played a round together.
Even so, you took interest in my score and would on occasion praise me.
You even won last year's tournament and I looked forward to seeing you again this year, but it's such a shame.
I wanted to ask you about so many scenes from Ashita Tenki ni Nāre while played a round…
I pray for you to rest in peace.
