Talk about yankee ingenuity... zany Japanese inventor, Dr. Nakamats, has lead a life propelled by curiosity and inventiveness. Nakamats boasts that he has Thomas Edison beat by a mile (compare Edison's measly 1,093 patents to Nakamats' 3,357).

From Wikipedia:

"Dr. NakaMats is a Japanese inventor claiming to hold the world record for number of inventions with over 3,000, including "PyonPyon" spring shoes and the basic technology for the floppy disk, the CD, the DVD, the karaoke machine, the digital watch, CinemaScope, armchair "Cerebrex", sauce pump, and the taxicab meter…"

Check out this trailer for the documentary to-be-released about the fascinating Japanese inventor.
