Meet the 90 Year-Old Japanese GAMER GRANDMA!
100This is Hamako Mori. She was born on the 18th of February 1930 and holds the Guinness world record for "World's Oldest Youtube Gamer". She uploads 3-4 videos a month and has nearly half a million subscribers! She's 90 years old and has been gaming since 1981, her first console was a Cassette vision and she has a large collection of games and consoles at her home in Tokyo including a "NEC PC Engine Duo-RX" and the "Nintendo 64".
Hamako isn't just a casual gamer, she plays at least 3-4 hours a day, normally more, and sometimes until 2 in the morning.
She isn't playing "Animal crossing" either, she plays Resident Evil 3, Call of Duty, Dauntless, and Ghost of Tsushima although she says her favorites are GTA5 and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Hamako started gaming because she saw how much fun her children were having and thought it wasn't fair that only kids could play, thus began a romance that has lasted nearly 40 years.
She says she understands the problems video games can cause but says "after living for this long, I feel more than ever that playing games for this long was the right choice. I am truly enjoying my life- it's rosy".
She uploads videos to youtube because she says gaming is too much fun to just play alone and by uploading her content she feels part of a community and enjoys all the nice comments she receives, lots of comments tell her not to work too hard and that she gives people hope for the future, Hamako says this makes her want to create more videos to inspire more people.
Hamako has always been physically active and used to swim regularly until she was 80. Now her main concern is "Finger mobility" and she exercises her fingers everyday to avoid losing dexterity, although she admits it is getting harder, she refuses to stop gaming saying "I won't put it down just because it's difficult... It's better than doing nothing! I want to play no matter how old I am"
