Tokyo, Japan -- Yuko Chino, the ailing leader of Chino Shoho, or True Law, passed away from unspecified reasons on Tuesday in a Fukui hospital. According to Mainichi Shinbun reporter Yoichi Okubo, the 72-year-old began complaining of breathing trouble when her constituents made an emergency phone call and had her rushed to a nearby hospital in Fukui, where she died hours later.
Born, Hidemi Masuyama, Chino claimed to possess supernatural powers of clairvoyance; even communicating with such late figures as Pope John Paul II and Audrey Hepburn, as well as several extraterrestrial beings that made occasional visits to our universe in spaceships. With these perceived powers, Chino gained prominence among hundreds of spiritual seekers throughout the early 1980s.
