Old bits and rumors provided by fans:

From Chindy Lie, Jakarta Indonesia:
"[I] read three years ago in a local newspaper that Michael used to learn kung fu when he was a kid. He learned it until he got the yellow belt and said that, it helps him a lot in his footworks. Michael knows kung fu !! watch out !!" (AHH! Flee in terror!... like Michael would beat anyone up, anyway...^_^)

From Kumiko Watanabe, Fukushima Japan:

"I'll write the supplement of a little while ago. It was when Kimiko Date was eating breakfast in hotel dining room during Australian Open 1995----MC asked her "Is your home all right? (original text; Kimikono (Kimiko's) iewa (home) daijoubu (O.K.)?) The charity event (exhibition match) for suffering people of Great Hanshin Earthquake was carried out on April 9, 1995 (before the Japan Open) MC's partner was Ai Sugiyama (how I envy her!), they played the match with Syuzo Matsuoka & Kimiko Date (mixed doubles) These are the quotation from the essay written by Kimiko Date. (title; Last Game)
Such cases are not special to him. This kind of episodes will get to be too numerous to be counted.
Now you come to speak of it, during Australian Open '97, MC gave a towel (he made it get wet to cool his head) to a ball girl who felt sick and fell down.
He is a quite largehearted man!"

From Haily Ho, Hong Kong:

"Some interesting info about Michael's birth which he revealed back in '92 during the 'Marlboro C'ships'.
Time of birth: around 2:00 p.m.
Weight: 7lb 12oz

Michael said so since he thought he had so many '2' in his life e.g. 2-22-72(DOB), 2nd child of family ... etc." [to explain why the number 2 is his favorite number]
