No, he's not the father of my tenant, nor was he a bigwig for a Japanese automaker. Tsutomu Yamaguchi may have been the unluckiest person ever alive - and he still survived to the ripe old age of 93. Must have been all that Dannon Yogurt. Wait, those are Russians....
What happened to Yamaguchi? He went on a business trip for the family business on August 6, 1945 to - you guessed it - Hiroshima, Japan. Where the first atomic bomb was dropped. He survived the attack, and went immediately back home. To Nagasaki, Japan - just in time to have the SECOND atomic bomb dropped on him as well. He was the only confirmed survivor of both atomic attacks. It's not like he was the last survivor of the Titanic, and lived to be 93, he was the ONLY one who lived through both, and he still kicked it for another 64 years! That is bad ass, man.....
