1 Man, 25 kids. Plus one divorce. And 4 or 5 hostesses [at a time.] "Still up for more breeding," he says.

Good grief. On the one hand, kinda cool. On the other... dude, c'mon.

A testament to the Japanese work ethic.

Profligate parent does his bit for the aging population -- by fathering 25 kids - Mainichi Daily News:

"Okinawa's Moriyasu Zakimi has ridden highs and lows -- and plenty of different women -- to become Japan's most prolific papa, with at least 25 children, according to Shukan Shincho (4/3).

..."At around 30, I moved to Nagoya and business boomed. I had about 80 workers and was getting well off, which allowed me to get a bit of a taste for places with neon lights. I lived with about four or five of the hostesses I met around that time. I had a lot of kids in the five years I lived in Nagoya, and all of them are aged between 15 and 20 now. If they're my kids, I have no problems recognizing my paternity, but not all of the women wanted that. I met the kids when they were little, but I often wonder now how they're doing."

..."My wife was really sick of me going around having babies with one mistress after another, so she divorced me, he says in a matter-of-fact tone.

..."When I was 37, I shacked up with a 22-year-old woman, who gave me two more sons. Then I had relationships with another six local women, living with three of them, who had my kids in secret while I was away on a business trip...

"...I honestly have to say I don't know when the urge is going to come upon me again. I guess looking back I haven't led the best sort of life, but it's not like you can go back in time and fix things up."

Indeed, Zakimi has no regrets about his lifestyle.

"...My youngest daughter and her eldest daughter, that is my granddaughter, go to the same kindergarten. The teachers were really surprised. But the kids have a great time playing together.""
