About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Modest & calm, but have lots of passion inside!!
Outgoing & Easygoing. Love to meet new people and try new things!!
I'm a Japanese artist(illustrator).
When I was 23 years old, I was working at the international restaurant in Sapporo,Japan.
The restaurant was located in the facility of JICA Sapporo.
Therefore I could meet many foreigners and I decided to study abroad.
Then, I lived in New Zealand for a year, 2008-2009.
I met many nice people and everybody helped me when I was in trouble.
After I came back to Japan, I wanted to help foreign travelers as I've been helped with good hospitality.
I was working for a real estate company called "SAKURA HOUSE" which is selling rooms only for foreigners.
I learnt how to treat foreign travelers who visit in Japan for the first time.
I left this company I start working as a freelance illustrator.
I've been doing design work (clothes, poster, flyer, character design) and live drawing.
Currently I'm also working at the Marketing company as an assistant analyst.
Besides these work, I'm organizing events with my share mates.
We are doing language exchange & casual dinner party weekly.
I'm really interested in learning language(English,Spanish,French,Arabic,etc). I also teach Japanese.
Hopefully I meet many people via Couchsurfing then wanna share experiences each other.
I also really want to connect people and make some chemistry there. I know many nice & talented people, so it would be nice if I could connect them.
PHILOSOPHY
Live as if you were die tomorrow, learn as if you were live forever.(Mahatma Gandhi)
Never stop, stay creative.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach Japanese. Especially, Pronunciation.
I don't have the license of teaching Japanese but I have a qualification as a Speech Therapist.
If you want to get rid of your foreign Japanese accent, probably I can help you.
Needless to say, I can make your Japanese grammar better because I'm Japanese.
If you want to make Japanese friend, you can meet my Japanese friend at the event which I'm organizing sometimes.
I can also teach you how to cook Japanese cuisine.
