What a strange and amazing story this has turned into! On August 28th, this guy shows up on the Fukushima live cam, prompting speculation about who he was, what he was doing, and what message he was trying to convey(Be sure to read the comments at the link.). Turns out, he wasn't a TEPCO employee, but Mixed Martial Arts Champion turned Real-Life Superhero Enson Inoue.
Inoue has traveled to the Fukushima quake/tsunami zone nine times, feeding stray animals, visiting evacuees, and spending his own money to buy them much needed supplies. He also made the acquaintance of a contractor working at the plant, and snuck in with a driver and another friend. And, evidently, made his way to the front of the live cam. And this visit is not at all the focus or purpose of his visits. Check out his video diary of his experiences. The magnitude of the earthquake/tsunami's devestation becomes clearer through his observations, and through his reactions to miles upon miles of the destroying event's aftermath.
To finance his efforts, he makes and sells some really nice bracelets on his site here. Enson Inoue is my new hero. He had fame and money. He didn't have to do anything other than live his Rich Athlete Lifestyle. Yet, he's chosen to give of himself in ways most of us would not even consider. His example is a light in these darkest of times. Thank you, Mr. Inoue, for choosing your chosen path.
