Hugo Hoyama (born May 9, 1969 in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo) is a table tennis player from Brazil, he won several medals in single, double, and team events in the Latin American Table Tennis Championships.[2]
Hoyama broke the Brazilian record of most gold medals in the Pan American Games, which used to belong to the Brazilian swimmer Gustavo Borges.[3][4] Hugo Hoyama was referenced on The Office when Dwight said that he owns a life-sized poster of Hugo on his wall.[5]
In 2007, Hoyama was invited by Carlos Nuzman from the Brazilian Olympic Committee to be the flag bearer for Brazil at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara. According to Nuzman, the choice of Hoyama displays support from the committee to all sports that Brazilians play[6].
Hugo is described as remarkably humble [7] and recently has started the Hugo Hoyama Foundation [8].
