34 Ben Stokes Cricketer, 28, GBR. The ICC Cricketer of the Year led England to World Cup victory in 2019. The all-rounder “Sport is never the most important thing going on in the world; there’s always a bigger thing happening to other people,” says the cricket star of a summer that’s shaping up markedly differently from 2019’s, when he snatched a last-second World Cup triumph and scored what has been called “the greatest Test innings of all-time.” The all-rounder is now applying his adaptability on the pitch to a life at home as well: “I’m a PE teacher for my kids—45 minutes a day.” He has also joined the F1 season via an online simulator. “I came in last,” he says of his debut. “But I’ve always learned from bad experiences; they make me a better player.” And he has taken up a new hobby: “Understanding stocks and shares. History has shown us that every time everything drops, it always comes back up.” GREG COLEMAN/RED BULL CONTENT POOL TOM GUISE 56 THE RED BULLETIN
35 Games developer, 55, JPN. For Nintendo, Eguchi worked on Super Mario World, Star Fox and Wii Sports, but his most famous game is Animal Crossing. 36 Diver and conservationist, 22, PYF. The French Polynesian founded Coral Gardeners—a project to restore and conserve coral reefs—four years ago. Katsuya Eguchi Titouan Bernicot NINTENDO, BEN ONO TOM GUISE, PATRICIA OUDIT Company Man On March 27, panic shook the world: the Nintendo Switch was sold out. A week earlier, a new Switch game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, had been launched alongside a limited edition of the console featuring images of its characters. Now you could only buy one on eBay, at twice its retail price. The game’s popularity, prompted by people seeking distraction while stuck at home, also connected on a deeper level. Your character lives on an island where they can pick fruit, fish, decorate their house, and—most vitally—go to other players’ islands, with time zones and seasons matching their location. It’s a tonic for those missing the company of friends and family they can no longer visit. Released in 2001, Eguchi’s original game was inspired by his experiences of moving more than 300 miles to work at Nintendo’s Kyoto office as a 21-year-old: “I’d left my family and friends behind. Being able to talk and play with them was important.” He devised gameplay that later, when he was a father, let his children know he’d visited while they slept: “The kids could play it after school and I could play when I got home at night; be a part of what they were doing while I wasn’t around.” The game has struck a chord with celebrities, with the likes of Chrissy Teigen and Brie Larson posting their Animal Crossing musings on social media. As British comedian Stephen Fry reflects, “Is it a metaphor for life itself? I hope not, for I may have pitched my tent ill-advisedly.” animal-crossing.com Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Nintendo Switch. It’s all about “family, friendship and community,” says Eguchi. Reef relief: Bernicot is saving the underwater world. The Coral Campaigner Today, 40 percent of coral reefs are gone. But Titouan Bernicot fights on to regenerate and save the remaining 60 percent. It’s essential. “Half of the earth’s oxygen comes from the oceans, and the coral reefs are the lungs,” he says. “We must protect the reefs if we want to continue breathing. The chief aim of my Coral Gardeners project is to educate the public about the importance of the coral reefs by spreading the word in schools and online campaigns. Our program is original: We’re asking people around the world to adopt a reef. I planted my first coral when I was 16 and saw it triple in volume and swarm with crabs— all in the space of just a few months! “If we do this at scale, our lagoons will be reborn. Bringing the coral reefs back to their former splendor might seem utopian—some think the reefs are finished—but I want to dream up ways of saving them. Some corals are incredibly tough and resilient—like the Red Sea reefs, which are highly resistant to extreme heat. “Deep-sea corals are another cause for optimism as scientists examine how they reproduce and produce larvae to reseed the shallow-water reefs that are more vulnerable to the effects of global warming. If we drastically reduce our carbon footprint in the future, there is still hope.” coralgardeners.org THE RED BULLETIN 57
