Video: Japan earthquake and tsunami anniversary: the man left behind in Fukushima Tomioka, where Mr Matsumura still resides, is just eight miles from Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant - well within the 13-mile exclusion zone - and the other residents have long since fled. "I was working when the earthquake hit and we heard on the radio that a tsunami was on its way, so I waited a while before trying to get home," said Mr Matsumura, who used to operate road-laying machinery. After a year, Mr Matsumura, 52, appears to prefer the company of his animals to humans.
