An elderly, 82 year old Japanese man has been living more than 29 years as a ‘castaway’, completely naked, and alone, on one of the few islands that remain deserted in Okinawa, Japan.

Nagasaki had got it quite clear in his mind to live the rest of his years as he’s lived up to now, in complete harmony with nature, not having to obey what society dictates but what his surroundings impose. He had decided that «there isn’t a better place in the world to die than this».

But one day a strong typhoon swept through his place of refuge and he lost the few personal belongings he had. He soon realised that he didn’t really need any clothes on this remote island, in fact «wearing clothes here was for me completely out of place»

The second day I dared to arrive 5 minutes late at his camp to look for oysters on the beach. Nagasaki was quite angry, swearing profusely (although I couldn’t understand him, I would have bet on it).

His mood changes were very pronounced. He could go from happy and smiling to shouting like an angry sergeant in just one minute. He was very unpredictable, but at the same time adorable. Whatever small thing he didn’t like could ignite his mood.

Sadly, last month the Japanese authorities forced Nagasaki to go to a hospital with no hope of returning to his island. His dream days in the paradise are over

What an amazing story.

I met Hiroo Onoda in Hawaii in 1975 at a book signing. He didn t believe that Japan had surrendered and held out in the Philippine jungle until 1974 with two other soldiers, the other two were killed by police or search parties, one in 1954 and one in 1972. His book is entittled " No Surrender, My Thirty Year War".
Something about the Japanese, they don t seem to mind solitude.

Vice International did a feature on him over 3 years ago and they did it the Japanese way "to be naked is not shameful" by sending a female interviewer: Ganbatte!

Because they are the smart ones

The way of the ultimate MGTOW.

I saw that one a while ago and couldn't find the link again. The interviewer has worked in some other great Japanese docs too.

I think he just went MGTOW

I had that book, it was an amazing story of survival. The man had never ridden in a car!
