The June 27 Google Doodle celebrates the 91 birthday of the Japanese-American Olympic gold medalist and world champion bodybuilder. In an Instagram post highlighting the animated tribute, Google described Kono as “one of the greatest weightlifters in U.S. history.” “Throughout his career, he set 26 world weightlifting records and won dozens of championship titles,” the post reads. Kono was born in 1930 in California, enduring a particularly harrowing childhood in World War II internment camps. Kono s neighbors in the internment camp first introduced him to weightlifting, which quickly became a passion in his teen years.
