Mitsugu
Kikai, a 25-year-old from Tokyo, Japan, has received the title of World’s
Biggest Super Mario Fan, for his giant collection of Mario-themed
memorabilia.
I’m not
saying it’s fate, but Kikai was born the same year Nintendo released their
first Super Mario video game, and he says one of the first things his parents
bought him was a Super Mario cereal bowl. He was too young to remember it, but
as soon as he grew a little older he started collecting everything Mario. Now,
at 25 years old, Mitsugu Kikai has amassed an impressive collection of
over 5,400 Super Mario items, and he’s not planning on stopping anytime soon.
“I never
tried to become a number one collector, but as I loved Mario since I was
little, the collection gradually grew. Now, I believe you can’t find more Mario
items anywhere else in the world.” Kikay says. He currently lives in a two
bedroom apartment in Tokyo, and one of the rooms is used just to house his
giant collection, not to mention he left many other items behind, at his
parents’ house.
