The first atomic bomb in human history was dropped, plunging the city into chaos and devastation. Miraculously, Yamaguchi survived the blast, albeit with burns and temporary blindness.



The Unthinkable Happens


One might think that surviving such a cataclysmic event would be the end of the story. Not for Yamaguchi. Undeterred by the horrors he had witnessed, he made his way back to Nagasaki, his hometown, to seek solace and recover from his injuries. But fate had other plans. Merely three days later, Nagasaki became the target of the second atomic bomb.

In a twist of fate that seems too extraordinary to believe, Yamaguchi survived not just one but two atomic bombings. His resilience and sheer will to live set him apart, earning him the title of a real-life superhero. Despite the unimaginable suffering and loss around him, Yamaguchi emerged as a beacon of hope and survival.

Determined to ensure that his experiences were never forgotten, Yamaguchi penned down his story. By sharing his harrowing journey, he immortalized his legacy and became an inspiration for generations to come.
