Yamanaka Avid Lifelong Athlete /
Nobel Laureate Gave Same Dedication to Sports as He Has to Science

Shinya Yamanaka, who won this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
for developing induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, has always
participated in sports, from practicing judo and playing rugby to running
marathons.
.
Yamanaka practiced judo as a student at Osaka Kyoiku University-affiliated
Tennoji High School. He often suffered injuries, including one or two
fractures a year.
.
Those experiences motivated him to pursue a career in sports medicine--and
eventually led him to study iPS cells--Yamanaka later recalled.
.
Soichi Tanaka, 50, a fellow member of the high school's judo club who now
runs a metal products processing company in Higashi-Osaka, Osaka
Prefecture, said Yamanaka was basically a gentle person.
.
"However, he was aggressive when it came to judo," Tanaka said. "Today he
makes steady efforts in his research--the same attitude he already had in
those days."
.
Yamanaka belonged to a rugby club when he attended Kobe University School
of Medicine.
.
Yukihito Hasunuma, a 51-year-old doctor who was then one of Yamanaka's
teammates in the club, said: "[Yamanaka] was not a smart player, but his
technique was good and he was able to keep the other team from stealing
the ball. He was a serious student, and returned to his classes as soon as
practice ended."
.
As an amateur marathon runner, Yamanaka compared life to that sport when
he gave a lecture at his alma mater in 2008.
.
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose," he said. "As researchers, we
shouldn't give up even when we find other researchers have beaten us to
publication. We have to make it to the finish line."
