FEATURE: Japan's "Donut Man" builds lasting bond with Nepal quake village

IWAKI, Japan - A Japanese man who has spent more than a decade supporting a remote Nepalese village devastated by an earthquake in 2015 is set to become principal of a Japanese-language school in Kathmandu, a role born from his own experiences of disaster and a chance encounter with a young girl.

Morihiko Shimamura, 68, has returned every year to Musure, a mountain village of about 500 people near the epicenter of the quake that killed around 9,000, bringing stationery and Japanese "randoseru" school satchels for local children.
