99-year-old Umeji Narisawat is a great-grandmother and potentially the greatest Bomberman player alive.
Narisawa started playing Bomberman almost 26 years ago when she saw her grandchildren playing it on the Famicon. She saw how much they loved it and decided to give it a shot and hasn’t put it down since. Narisawa plays for hours daily and can beat the game multiple times in a day, but just like any average gamer, she blows the cartridge before getting started.
Narisawa says that Bomberman keeps her strong in mind and body. At an age where arthritis has claimed most of the body’s joints her fingers are still able to thread a needle with ease.
