Japan earthquake and tsunami anniversary: Fukushima's last inhabitant

Only Naoto Matsumura remains inside the exclusion zone, without electricity
and running water and braving the loneliness and the constant threat of
exposure to elevated levels of radiation to feed a menagerie of animals.

What a champion. Good Guy Naoto - Has a chance to rescue himself, saves animals.

[maynardcat]

Nato is a very kind, and thoughtful person to stay and take care of the helpless animals, and risk his own health doing so. I do hope things get better for him, as well as many others that are enduring such hardship.

I think I would have stayed too. Good for you, I don't think you will get sick, maybe they made the whole thing up just to get rid of the people from that area. Governments are sick like that, they lie lie lie, they have done nothing but lie to their people. We are ready to transcend as humans and get rid of our governments. Spread the word, we need to do this world wide, no more wars.. Just people working with people and live well and prosperous together.

I am legend #2?

Naoto San is really kind heart man who refuses to leave behind his animal friends!

But I wonder why Japanese government don't move the animals out of the area.

In that way, nobody or no animal has to take any risk of radiation.

This guy will go to hell for not following Christ...

if he keeps chain smoking it won't be 30 years. it would be sooner than later, then who would watch his farm animals?

[Gabriela Borraccetti]

El amor no deja a nadie morir infeliz. Y Naoto no tendrá suerte, sino el amor que se merece. Gracias por esta gran lección!

[not2tees]

Getting old does give you some sort of power. Like he says, they say I'll get sick in 30 years, but in 30 years old age will do me in anyway. So he does as he wishes . . .

top bloke.

[terry lacey]

I will think about this Brave Man everyday...may God bless him and the Animals. It takes a Saint to do what he is doing.

[prokiddude]

In my opinion, Naoto Matsumura is the real-life Japanese version of Robert Neville from I Am Legend
