TOKYO, Aug 5 — Japanese media hailed Olympic 100m gold medallist Noah Lyles as the world’s fastest anime fan after the American celebrated his win by miming an attack from “Dragon Ball”.
The 27-year-old Lyles has made no secret of his love for Japanese pop culture, including comics and cartoons such as the global 1990s megahit “Dragon Ball”. “Mankind’s fastest otaku”, blared a headline in Japanese sports newspaper Daily Sports—using the term for hardcore superfans in a new nickname also used by other outlets.
“I’m sure this kamehameha didn’t go unnoticed by Toriyama-sensei,” one fan said on X in response to his victory on Sunday.
