His story is absolutely incredible. Definitely worth digging into.

From the article:

> His height was 6 shaku 2 sun (roughly 6 feet, 2 inches (1.88m)

Are you telling me the British and Japanese independently came up with the same fucked up measurement system?

Edit: Holy shit I didn't know comment Karma went this high. Thank you for the awards, strangers. I've learned from some of the comments below that the shaku/sun system is actually base 10 and they just coincidentally line up at 6 big units, 2 small units. Here is the article OP posted that I was referring to.
