Founder of Taiseido book store, which is the book store located on the famous Shibuya crossing.

Prior to life as a bookstore owner, he served in the Imperial Japanese Army, where his combat records and kill count at Angaur and Pelelieu had made him into a war hero to the point that the official war record book in Japan had mentioned him by name, something which no other soldier was able to accomplish.
