On the fifth floor of Toyota"s Toranomon dealership in Tokyo, Kouji Matsuda scurries around like an overexcited hamster. With seemingly double-jointed knees, he works unfashionably fast for a septuagenarian. He has to he"s in demand. Born in 1949, Matsuda has worked as a mechanic for Toyota for the past 51 years. Having completed two years of mandatory training as a teenager, he went straight into working on what was at the time Toyota"s new luxo barge. He"s never stopped. Having spannered his way around every generation and a healthy chunk of the 40-odd-thousand Centurys in existence, owners now send their cars from all over Japan for his blessing.
