Daisuke Enomoto (榎本大輔 Enomoto Daisuke, born April 22, 1971, nicknamed Dice-K) is a Japanese businessman and former Livedoor executive who is in line to become the fourth space tourist. He is currently in training at Star City, Moscow in Russia to fly on board Soyuz TMA-9, currently scheduled for September 14, 2006.
Enomoto will be the first self-funded space tourist from Japan and Asia (journalist Toyohiro Akiyama flew on Soyuz TM-11 in 1990, and could be regarded as Japan's first space tourist). Enomoto's flight will take him to the International Space Station (ISS) after lifting off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the worlds oldest spaceport.
Enomoto made international news when it was revealed that he intends to go into space wearing a costume of Char Aznable, a character from the anime series Gundam.
That man is an inspiration to all Gundam fans!:cry
Or perhaps just a fanboy with too much money.
