Politician. A survivor of the bombing of Hiroshima. He was mayor of the city from 1975 to 1991. Every year on the anniversary of the bombing, he made appeals to the world to ban nuclear weapons. In 1976 he protested about an air show in Texas, in which the US Air Force held an imitation of the atomic attack in the form of a mushroom cloud in the desert.
