Asahara Shoko.
Nearly blind from birth, a failed candidate for the Tokyo University medical school, convicted of selling fake medicine in 1982, and by 1990 the object of a devotion that included drinking water he had bathed in. He ran for the Diet in 1990 with twenty-four candidates; all lost badly, and the doctrine hardened afterwards.
