Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on October 12, 1981)

Happy birthday to the incredible Nobuo Nashiro—Japan's own turbo-charged boxing legend! Not only did you tie the record as Japan’s fastest boxer to clinch a world championship, but rumor has it even lightning had trouble keeping up with your punches. Your fists were faster than Wi-Fi and more accurate than grandma finding flaws at family dinners.

Winning that prestigious WBA Super Flyweight title not once—but twice—is no small feat. You've left an indelible mark in Japanese boxing history while simultaneously making opponents wish they'd picked table tennis instead. May your reflexes stay sharp, and may this year deliver another knockout chapter filled with joy outside the ring!
