Working with children enables me to truly be myself and the times spent remain cherished. I joined preschool education and childcare because I desired to work with children. I made this decision during my second year of junior high school. At that time, there were no male childcare workers in Hiroshima Prefecture. I have worked at a kindergarten for many years. Since childhood, my hobby has been fishing, and recently, I have joined a motorcycle club and love to participate in motorcycle racing.
