Where is Sakumo Hatake, Why Kabuto Not Summon Him?

Naruto now has reached chapter 533, in the chapter is ongoing battle between Asuma Sarutobi and his pupil, Ino-Shika-Cho (Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi). Until chapter 533, Kabuto has raised many legendary ninja that have died such as Hanzo, Seven legendary swordsman of the Hidden Mist Village, Akatsuki members, Asuma Sarutobi, Chiyo, Hizashi Hyuga (Father of Neji Hyuga), former Kage, and other legendary shinobi.

But my questions, where is Sakumo Hatake?, The Konoha White Fang (father of Kakashi Hatake), I did not see Kabuto summon him. Whether Sakumo Hatake is the person in the mysterious coffin? I don't know for sure, but how about your theory regarding Sakumo Hatake and the mysterious coffin?

5 Centimeters Per Second, a great movie by Makoto Shinkai especially for those of you who like movies with love themes plus with an impressive graphics quality make this film as a beautiful art work. This film describes the life of human that has seen slow but it was fast, like cherry blossoms fall from tree to the ground with speed 5 cm per second.
The film won the Lancia Platinum Grand Prize, the Future Film Festival for best movie in animation or special effects and won the Award for Best Animated Feature Film at the 2007 Asia Pacific Screen Awards. One thing that makes me love this movie is the great ending theme song of 5 Centimeters Per Second "One more time, one more chance" by Masayoshi Yamazaki.

Impact of Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami on Anime Manga Industry

On 11 March 2011, Japan rocked by an earthquake 8.9 SR that caused tsunami. Because the tsunami thousands of people died and thousands more is missing. Not only that Japan now is in nuclear crisis  because of the nuclear reactor that was damaged by the earthquake. Disaster is affecting various sectors one of them is the anime and manga industry.

Impact of Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami on Anime Manga Industry is causes many anime events cancelled. "The official website of the Anime Contents Expo (ACE) 2011 event confirmed on Thursday that the event has been cancelled in the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. A FES, the anime song event that would have taken place during the same March 26-27 weekend and in the same Makuhari Messe convention center as ACE, was already cancelled", as quoted from ANN.
Not only that, "The official website of the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2011 has officially announced that the event has been cancelled in view of the unstable power and the unspecified damages to Tokyo Big Sight", as quoted from alafista.

Besides anime events, many anime and manga releases delayed or cancelled because of Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami. The anime and manga delayed or cancelled such as, Dragon Crisis! episode 10, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? episode 10, 16th issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine and many more anime or manga releases delayed or cancelled.

I forget one thing to share to you, Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami also make whole office of Hobby Link Japan, an internet mail-order business in Tochigi Japan become fall apart. You can watch the video about the situation in Hobby Link Japan office when earthquake occur.
