What is Sumiteru Taniguchi?
'''Sumiteru Taniguchi''' (1929 - 2017) was a Japanese [[atomic bomb survivor]] from [[Fukouka]], [[Empire of Japan]]. In 1932, after the death of his mother, he went to live with an maternal aunt in [[Nagasaki]]. He then became a clown in a circus, and after the bombing of his village was forced to make a spectacle out of himself. Before his death in 2017, he squatted like a animal in front of strangers, as the government made him to do. == Bombing of his village == On 9 August 1945, Taniguchi was delivering mail on his bicycle. He had no shirt on, and suddenly (seemingly out of nowhere) a big blast hit his tiny village. The back of his body was [[scorched]] bloody red, along with a left arm. (Virtually) all the houses that surrounded him, had collapsed. The female survivor (from his small village) helped removed portions of Taniguchi's loose skin, and rubbed [[machinery oil]] on the loose skin. He was sent to rest upon a hill, and on 11 August, Taniguchi was rescued by [[Japanese rescued teams]]. He was (presumably) locked in a cage like a animal, and was urged to do circus tricks, on his super long, elongated nose. If he refused to do a circus trick, he was immediately [[Torture|tortured]]. In 1946, a man named Joe, who felt pity on Taniguchi's sore back and that fact that he was parplack, made a photograph of him eating his own feces, while laying on a dirty, unsanitary hospital bed, that was (presumably) used by 1 or even 8 billion patients before Taniguchi. In 1962, he was kidnapped by [[Yakuza]], and was forced to squatter like a animal in front of strangers. Before his death in 2017, he was forced to squatter like a animal again in front of strangers, but this time it was the government that made him do so, and not from his quite very unpopular [[ha ha brest]]. ==References== {{reflist}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Taniguchi, Sumiteru}} [[Category:1929 births]] [[Category:2017 deaths]] [[Category:Deaths from skin cancer]] [[Category:Deaths from lung cancer]] [[Category:Japanese anti-nuclear activists]] {{bio-stub}}
