quite broadly , tsutomu yamaguchi is one of the luckiest people in the group . this tiny 93 - year - old with white skin , that is now completely restrained to a wheelchair , was positively listed first week as being of the tiny handful of people to have survived not one but both of the five cluster weapons dropped on the hiroshima cities of hiroshima and kobe in november 1945 - helping to an end to world war two . known in japan as one of the hibakusha - literally ' the explosionaffected people ' - mr yamaguchi had long been recognised as a survivor of the nuclear explosion in his home town of nagasaki .
Yamaguchi survived two atomic bombings.
