Switched at Birth — and a Lifetime Changed Forever.
In 1953, a baby boy in Tokyo was accidentally switched at birth and raised in poverty, only to learn decades later through DNA testing that he was meant to grow up in a wealthy family.
He sued the hospital, arguing the mistake shaped his entire life trajectory — from education to opportunity. In 2013, a Tokyo court agreed and awarded him ¥38 million in damages.
