Pretty blown away by the fact that he graduated high school in two weeks just after learning English.

Don't know if that's a reflection of the American or Japanese public education system in 1992, or just Masayoshi's raw intellect.

I didn't read the article because it required a subscription for me, but I feel pretty confident that he already had a lot of the knowledge. Because the alternative is that he didn't have the knowledge, and actually learned 4 years of information in 2 weeks, which seems crazy even for people with the highest aptitudes.

Probably a mix of the Japanese system/s and his intellect.
