The 2020 Olympics have found their future local star. This young man can run super fast, no doubt because he has energy feeding into his body courtesy of his love for 2D idols.
Yes, this is Japan’s fastest otaku.
At the Emperor’s Cup 83rd Japan Student Field and Track Championship over the weekend, Hiroki Hashimoto ran the male 400 meters dash in under 51 seconds, claiming the number one spot on the podium.
Hashimoto, who is a student at Nihon University, Japan’s largest college, chose to celebrate his victory on Sunday with his best friend, a 2D idol that is his most beloved companion.
We can’t wait for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. They are recruiting Japan’s top athletes in Akihabara right now!
