I am a Japanese, was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1958, moved to Los Angeles, CA in 1992 and was naturalized to be a US citizen in 2003. I work as a consultant for the Cancer Control Society who promotes the so-called alternative medicines. I also consult a travel agency. I have studied about health especially diet and nutrition for the last 20 years, and philosophy and spirituality for the last 15 years with a group of about 20 people. So, I am very much interested in life and people. I also love arts (human's creation) and nature (nature's creation). I am divorced and have a son.

Algo increíble que he hecho

When I lived in Japan and was young everytime I travelled alone I made very good friends, in New York, in Chicago, in San Francisco, in Moscow, Russia, in Shanghai and Xiang, China. I could not speak well the local languages around that time. I was amazed that making connection with people was not by oral communications, but by something else.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

The knowledge particularly about diet and nutrition to keep healthy.
