Shunpei Uto (鵜藤 俊平, Utō Shunpei, born 1 December 1918) was a Japanese former freestyle swimmer who won two medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics.[1]
Uto endured much hardship after World War II and deposited both his medals to a pawnshop to get some money for living. He later found a job in general affairs at the Niigata Nippo company. After retiring he moved to Chiba Prefecture to do agriculture.[2]
