500 days before the start of the Olympic Games in Japan, 92-year-old superfan Naotoshi Yamada gears up for 2020.
TOKYO - For most people, going to watch the Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but for 92-year-old superfan Naotoshi Yamada it has become a quadrennial ritual over the last five and a half decades.
“Mexico, Munich, Montreal, Los Angeles, Moscow. Japan did not even participate at the Moscow Olympics but I went to see that Games,” Yamada told Reuters in Tokyo. Yamada, in his distinctive gold top hat, red jacket and beaming smile, has become one of the most familiar and colorful figures at the Games, regularly followed by television cameras and cheered by other fans.
“I felt that I wanted to do something for my country. I think that it is one of the reasons why I started to visit the Olympics.”
