Nujabes was a private person, and so many, even those who worked closely with him, did not know he had died. Nujabes (who came by his artistic name by spelling his real name backwards) also contributed music to the anime 'Samurai Champloo', an anachronistic tale mixing samurai lore and modern hip-hop culture.

Nujabes' death was only publicly confirmed by Hydeout Productions and by his friend and collaborator, Shing02, today he was buried by his family in a private ceremony.
