Bernard Hana, known as 'Blanket Man', was a homeless man in Wellington, New Zealand, from 1957 to January 15, 2012. He gained local celebrity status, often seen on the streets near Cuba Street and Courtenay Place. A self-proclaimed follower of the Māori sun god, he eschewed clothing as a religious practice, often wearing just a blanket and a loincloth. His lifestyle sparked public debate, and it is believed he lived on the streets as penance after causing a friend's death in a drunk-driving incident.
