Here is a brief biography of the real Katou Buntaro! [url]http://onehundredmountains.blogspot.com/2010/10/life-and-death-on-matterhorn-of-japan.html[/url]
Seems there isn't much information of him in English....

Seems his wife was called Hana-chan too though!

Do you guys think Buntaro is going to die on a mountain in the end? 🙁

Interesting article.
Considering that buntaro is still climbing solo...I'm hoping for a hollywood twist.

Ooh, I certainly hope he doesn't. It's too bad that he died in real life, though. 😢
Honestly though, I think he will, if only because almost everyone else he knew died, and given how the other parts of the story have gone..
