二宮さん

from Wikipedia: "Ninomiya Kinjiro was a prominent 19th century Japanese agricultural leader who was born to a poor peasant family but became a great landowner and aid to the bakufu and daimyo. In Japan, he is still a symbol of hard work and perseverance today." - you can find his statue in lots of elementary schools, still. And in front of Yaesu Book Center.

Whenever my friends catch me reading & walking, they'll call me "Ninomiya-san"... ^_^;
