I was wondering where the Dr went! Haven't seen him around for a couple of years.
I still find it hard to believe he is the inventor of the floppy disc.

Is that cap the ones Tibetan monks wear? And the Dr. looks really interesting.

At 82, he may well bring down the average age of a couple of political parties in Japan. They'll be calling him Doctor-kun
stormqueen
knowing the doctor that hat has got to have practical purposes,such as cleaning those hard to reach places in the kitchen,the shower,or bedroom..

Does he represent the ROOSTER party?
LoveUSA

...is the hat one of his inventions?

Hey, where did he get that King Kamehameha hat? I have always thought Dr. Nakamatsu was an interesting character, and a brilliant man. Like many brilliant people, he is very eccentric, but that's what makes him appealing to me. I wish I could get a pair of his jumping shoes for my commute to work. Just checked out his homepage, and now the shoes are called Super Pyon2 and they run 17,800 yen. http://dr.nakamats.com/shop/index.html I'd vote for him, he couldn't do any worse than the people in charge now...

How do you know it's a tourist?

According to wikipedia, his goal is to live at least 144 years...

Do we know he is a tourist? Did anyone ask him? He could be a resident of Japan and just assumed to be a tourist since he is not Japanese.
