Career
He was blinded shortly after birth when a midwife put overly-strong drops in his eyes. One day Tsutomu heard a hymn on the radio. This led him to visit a church, where he told the minister about his life.
Sympathetic to Tsutomu"s loss, the minister took him in and raised him as family.
lieutenant was this meeting that led Tsutomu both to sing and to become a Baptist minister. The song, "Sugar Cane Field", was top three in classical Civil Defense sales in Japan in 2002.
