En el mes de febrero de 1954, con una tripulación de veintitrés hombres, un bote pesquero, el "Dragón de la suerte nº 5", partió del puerto de Yaizu, prefectura de Shizuoka. En busca de atún, el destino final del viaje eran las Islas Bikini, en el Pacífico Sur. El primero de marzo a las 3:42 de la mañana los hombres ven una nube amarillenta ascendiendo hacia el cielo. Cubiertos de cenizas, nadie en la tripulación es consciente del peligro que los acecha. Sin saberlo en ese momento, serán víctimas de la lluvia radioactiva luego de la prueba de la bomba de hidrógeno realizada por el ejército americano en el atolón Bikini.

On October 12, 1956, 53 surveyors and 1,300 armed police rushed the gathered union and Zen Gaku Ren (the All Japan Federation of Self-Governing Students Associations) members who then formed a scrum to protect themselves. 278 people from both sides were injured. On the 13th, at the protest’s peak, 5,000 workers and Zen Gaku Ren members had been mobilized when the police attacked the demonstrators’ picket lines. 844 protesters and 80 police were injured. Public opinion erupted against the the violence of the armed police and the government’s lack of a policy, and on the 14th, the radio suddenly announced that the government would stop its survey. Sunagawa overflowed with joy and excitement, and a victory demo was held. On the 15th, a National People’s Rally was held to celebrate the victory of Sunagawa’s fight against the base, and protesters who had sustained grave injuries came from the hospital to address the meeting.
