A 78-year-old Japanese Man Called "Super Volunteer" Last week, the two-year old boy Yoshiki became lost when his grandfather was taking a walk with him and his three-year old brother to a beach near his great-grandfather's house, which is located in a small island, Yamaguchi. Afterwards, the police throughly searched areas around where he was last seen, involving about 380 officers and rescues as well as drones. In spite of that, they couldn't find the toddier for approximately three days. In the meantime, the 78-year-old man Haruo Obata living in Oita, Kyushu knew it on TV news. He immediately decided to leave to the site to participate as a search party volunteer. Obata has already had more than 10 years volunteering experience since he retired as the owner of fish shop at the age of 65. In the early morning on the day after he arrived there, he followed a mountain trail and called out "Yoshiki-chan" again and again in the mountain. When it took about 20 minutes, he heard a kid said "Pops, I'm here" and he finally found the boy Yoshiki sitting on the stone. As a matter of fact, he has originally known small children tend to climb up in those situations. According to a residence who knows the area, even locals don't enter there, and that's why others thought "There is no way a small boy can go there." Reporters interviewed Obata afterwards. Then, he said "Human life outweighs anything. I came here because I wanted to help people with something. I was really happy when I heard 'Pops, I'm here.' " shedding tears. According to a person who volunteered to recover from tsumami disaster in Tohoku in 2011, Obata was called "Super Volunteer" among the people involved. As his motto, he always pays for anything regarding his work out of his own pocket, and he never gets anything from any victim not to bother all of that. When I saw the following picture, I've figured out a hero exists among everyday people.
