Yokoi became an instant hero in Japan, and he will be given a triumphal welcome this week in Tokyo, and later in his hometown of Nagoya, where there is a tombstone bearing his name in a graveyard.

Thousands of Japanese citizens have come forward with gifts, ranging from job proposals to electric blankets and a lifetime pass to a hotel's bath. All in all, Yokoi may find modern life...
