Kokichi was also a 1st lieutenant in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. Running careerTsuburaya competed at the 1964 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan, finishing sixth in the 10,000m event and lining up for the marathon as well, on the final day of competition. Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia won the race decisively, becoming the first man to defend his Olympic title in the event, having won in Rome in 1960, running barefoot. Tsuburaya entered the stadium second, but was overtaken on the final lap by the furious sprint of Britain's Basil Heatley and finished third, earning the bronze medal. Tsuburaya was mortified by the loss to Heatley, saying to fellow marathoner Kenji Kimihara, "I committed an inexcusable blunder in front of the Japanese people. I have to make amends by running and hoisting the Hinomaru in the next Olympics, in Mexico".[3] Shortly after the Tokyo Olympics, Kokichi suffered from an ongoing back problem, known as lumbago. On January{{nbsp}}9, 1968, he committed suicide by slashing his wrist in his dormitory room where he had stayed during his training period for the Mexico City Olympics.[4] SuicideKokichi was found dead in his dorm room, holding on to his bronze medal. In his suicide note, he paid thanks to his parents, siblings and trainers for their contributions, hoped his nieces and nephews would grow up well, and asked for forgiveness from his parents.[5] He left two handwritten notes as explanation for why he took his life.[6] Here is his farewell letter: {{quote|My dear Father, my dear Mother: I thank you for the three-day pickled yam.
