Id didn't know him personally, but I do know that he was a man of many talents:

People here remember him as a fellow OpenBSD developer. However,

possibly his most lasting legacy will be his tireless work (for over

ten years) on IPv6.
The Internet will only be able to continue to grow because of IPv6,

and a big part of the IPv6 work was done by itojun, in collaboration

with others, particularly within the KAME project (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAME_project ), and in collaboration with

the WIDE ( http://www.wide.ad.jp/ ) , TAHI ( http://www.tahi.org/ )

and USAGI ( http://www.linux-ipv6.org/ ) projects.
In short, his work (and IPv6 advocacy) will prove vital for the future

of the Internet and its continued existence as one global entity. If

you like the Internet, then maybe you should be aware of itojun's

work. (Oh, and Google is your friend. ;-)
