Japan’s YOSHI (Yoshizumi Sasaki) has just died at the age of 19. Rising to fame in his early teens, the actor/model/artist garnered worldwide attention from the fashion community via social media and was known for his sense of styling at such a young age — often putting together bold fits using secondhand clothing from designer Japanese labels.

It was revealed that the 19-year-old died on November 5 in Tama Ward, Kawasaki City. It was reported that at roughly midnight, YOSHI’s motorcycle collided with a truck turning right at an intersection. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead at approximately 2:00 a.m. The 60-year-old truck driver was later arrested on suspicion of a traffic violation and pleaded guilty.
