About me

My family was a village headman with a large plot of land until four generations ago. My great-grandfather entered politics in Nara three generations ago and served as the second chairman of the city council in Nara. The statue of Gyoki in front of Kintetsu Nara Station was built by my grandfather when he was mayor. My father also served as the former mayor of Nara. I studied abroad at Edwin Parr Composite High for a year when I was in high school, and after returning to Japan, I attended the Nara Film Festival, worked as a free guide, and translated and interpreted for local companies. My love for my hometown of Nara is etched in my DNA!
