Question from a reader:
Did the person inside Tsubakuro pass away due to illness? Or is it possible that this person is actually a woman who is of marriageable age and pregnant?
Thoughts on the Person Behind Tsubakuro
Recently, the news of the person inside Tsubakuro passing away has deeply saddened many. Given how much people have cherished this character, it’s
hard not to wonder about the life of the individual behind it. The fact that a person named Adachi Ayumi portrayed Tsubakuro for 31 years is truly astonishing. The news of Mr. Adachi’s passing due to pulmonary hypertension highlights the harsh conditions under which he worked. Just wearing a costume is a tough situation, but considering that he managed to do so while dealing with a chronic illness makes his struggles unimaginable. Having had experience working in a costume myself, I can fully appreciate how challenging it is. Continuing to perform while enduring breathlessness, heat, and the scrutiny of those around you is a significant burden both mentally and physically.
Team Care and Workers’ Compensation Issues
I genuinely question how the team took care of Mr. Adachi’s health. There are claims that proper breaks and backup personnel were not ensured according to guidelines. Given these circumstances, I believe workers’ compensation should be acknowledged. The team has a responsibility to compensate in some form for his dedicated work. From a legal standpoint, I often reflect on this issue. It is very unfortunate that, despite the existence of laws to protect workers’ health, there are instances where they are not applied. It is a significant loss for society when individuals like Mr. Adachi, who have a great impact on the community, do not receive appropriate support.
Memories of Tsubakuro and Personal Reflections
Tsubakuro is not just a character; he has been a source of joy for many people. I, too, have been uplifted by his presence on multiple occasions. His performances at the stadium always brought me joy. There were times when I laughed heartily at his humorous antics or felt my heart warm during moving moments. Because of these memories, the passing of Mr. Adachi is truly heartbreaking. If anyone has memories of Tsubakuro or any memorable episodes that resonate with them, I would love to hear about it. Through such events, I hope we can all feel a little of the joy he brought us. I look forward to exchanging thoughts in the comments.
