Shunpei Uto

Shunpei Uto (鵜藤 俊平) was a Japanese former freestyle swimmer who won two medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

Uto endured much hardship after World War II and deposited both his medals to a pawnshop to get some money for living. He later found a job in general affairs at the Niigata Nippo company. After retiring he moved to Chiba Prefecture to do agriculture.
