Nasubi | His Full Story
Nasubi, also known as “the Eggplant Man” who was put on a reality show where he had to enter sweepstakes to win food, clothing, and shelter. He lived in an apartment naked, except for a cartoon eggplant covering his genitals and believed he was being recorded and the show would be re-broadcast later once the footage had been gathered.
In reality, the experiment was being live-streamed with footage compiled and re-aired each week. Hamatsu won items from the sweepstakes but most of them were useless to him. The show became popular in Japan and people started to decipher the location of his flat. The producers were forced to move him to a new location.
After 11 months, Hamatsu won enough to return home but instead he was taken to a TV studio with a huge live audience. Hamatsu’s diaries on his experience became a bestseller in Japan and the TV show broke all records with 17 million viewers each Sunday night. In April 2020, Hamatsu tried to persuade people to cooperate with the self-disciplined stay-at-home order during the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
