Watched it and thought it was a very nice documentary. Well produced and conveying the key features of Kawauchi's character (his incredible body resilience, humility, fighting spirit, etc...) that makes him so popular.

Also good to see you in there to get some of your role exposes and hopefully giving you some recognition for what you are doing, in a way, I think you are both similar (in your own way) with your approach to what you are doing.

Thanks for sharing and for JRN, keep it going :-)
