DR. NAKAMATS ON MOTHERBOARD
It should come as little surprise that Japan, home to the world’s most advanced and strangest inventions, would give rise to an inventor like Yoshiro Nakamatsu. But the quirky, fun-loving 81-year-old scientist seems ripped from another dimension altogether. Dr. NakaMats, as he’s known, is a kind of Thomas Edison on steroids, the mastermind behind over a world-record breaking 3,000 inventions, including “PyonPyon” spring shoes, the karaoke machine, CinemaScope, armchair “Cerebrex”, sauce pump, the taxicab meter, and a hydrogen-powered engine. If you’ve ever used a digital watch, a floppy disk, a CD or DVD, you’ve also got him to thank.
