Nobukazu Kuriki (栗城 史多, Kuriki Nobukazu, June 9, 1982 – May 21, 2018) was a Japanese mountaineer and entrepreneur. Kuriki was born in Imakane, Setana District, Hokkaido, Japan. He graduated from Hokkaido Hiyama Kita High School and Sapporo International University's Humanities and Sociology Department of Sociology. Kuriki climbed the Himalayas at high altitude once or twice a year. He successfully climbed the 8000 meter peaks Cho Oyu in August 2007 and Dhaulagiri in May 2009. He tried to climb Mount Everest without oxygen while live streaming over the internet, climbing the Tibet side in September 2009, and the Nepal side in September 2010, but was not able to climb above 8,000 meters. In his third time climbing the Nepal side in August to October 2011, Kuriki was not able to reach 7,900 meters. During his fourth attempt in October 2012, he gave up due to the strong wind, and lost nine of his fingers to frostbite after spending two days in a snow hole at temperatures below -20 °C. His 2015 attempt was prevented by the avalanche that struck Everest Base Camp that year, and his attempts in 2016 and 2017 were cut short by weather conditions. More information...
