After the orphanage destroyed the twins’ records, their chances of reuniting dropped significantly. However, almost 40 years later the brothers were finally able to have their better reunion.
«So at the age of 40, I flew to Philadelphia to meet my twin brother for the first time,» Patterson said. FOX 2 News.

They also had the chance to talk to each other about their love for soccer.

Tazumi noticed that soccer tends to be mentioned during their daily conversations.
«I think that’s what I miss the most is that we didn’t have a childhood,» Tazumi said. «We met at the age of 40, so we didn’t bond or play soccer together or anything like that. We talked almost every day and we talked about soccer every day. It’s been extraordinary.»
