He also designed the Yoyogi Stadium and Metropolitan Gym in Shibuya next door to NHK’s studios.

This stadium was the centerpiece of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics

What he DIDN’T design was that big pink dot that’s the mascot of the FIVB Volleyball Women’s World Cup tournament that was being hosted there.

That’s a big pink dot with eyes and huge hands.  Can’t find its name online…

Dun get that dot confused with this pink dot
