unusual facts about Kusatsu, Gunma



Clyde Kusatsu

With his quiet, wry line delivery, Kusatsu made a memorably clever and hilarious sparring partner for Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor) on several episodes of All in the Family as the Reverend Chong, refusing to baptize Archie's grandson without the permission of the boy's parents.

Feature roles, beginning with Midway (1976), have generally been small, but in the 1990s Kusatsu had roles in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993, as a history teacher) and In the Line of Fire (1993, as a Secret Service agent).

Cornwall Legh

In 1915, she visited Kusatsu at the strong request of a Christian belonging to the Koenkai (Light and salt society), which had been established under the influence of Hannah Riddell who had established the Kaishun Hospital for leprosy patients in Kumamoto.

Erwin Bälz

On Bälz' initiative, the volcanic springs of Kusatsu (200 km away from Tokyo) were transformed into the most successful hot spring resort of Japan.

Keisai Aoki

At Kusatsu, he met Hannah who was vacationing there and decided to go to Hannah's Kaishun Hospital.

Kōzuke Province

Since the characters for Kōzuke are more commonly read "Ueno," Gunma Prefecture's Japan Rail stations do not use it as a name prefix, using "Gunma" instead.
