Nobou Takemoto I

Tamotsu Yato took promotional photos of Japanese bodybuilders early in his career, both in the studio and in competition settings.  I'll post some of the latter in a future series, but today I will focus that part of the series on four photos he made of Nobou Takemoto, who was Mr. Japan 1970.  We start with a great derriere shot that shows Mr. Takemoto's stocky build.
