Studio Practice: Floppy Disks and Self Defence Wigs

I've been doing research into who I'm going to be doing the next part of visual communication on, and due to the fact that there was such a large amount of information on the Internet and that pretty much all of this information is absolute GOLD, I'm going to be researching Yoshiro Nakamatsu further.

I have no idea how I wasn't even aware of this guys existence before now, not only did he invent the floppy disk, but he also has over 3000 patents to his name and is seemingly one of the most ridiculously eccentric people on the planet.

Heres a few of my favourite things I've found out so far:

He invented a self defence wig (literally what?)
He prefers people to address him as Sir Dr Nasamats
He credits his ground-breaking inventions to diving underwater until he's exactly 0.5 seconds away from death, which then prompts his brain to work more efficiently bringing great ideas to him
To make his underwater brainstorming easier, he has developed a notepad and pen that works underwater to note s=things down as they come to him/ sketch things
He is currently 88 but plans to live until around 144. He credits his current level of fitness to one of his inventions the "celebrex chair" (still trying to find out exactly what this does)
He sadly has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but is fighting it with a few methods, some of which are his own. The one that I could find the most record for was a song he sings about his illness which is supposed to help fight it off? He performed it recently in Tribeca when he was there for an award/88th birthday celebration

I mean I have no idea where any of this information is going to take me, its all completely bizarre and could go so many ways, but I'm really excited about it. This mans cool and I want to know more about him and what he does with his everyday life, I hear something about him winning some kind of culinary award but I still need to look into it. But so far I'm 100% certain that he's the guy to go for, I can see myself already getting immersed in his life, I could see it being interesting if I were to look at some of the objects and inventions that have shaped his life so far?
