Hi, this is Kotaro Aoki, please call me Kotaro.
I am a Japanese student majoring in sociology at Hokkaido University.
Had grown up in Osaka (the second biggest city in Japan) until age 18 and now I have been here, Sapporo (the fifth biggest city located at Northen Japan) for studying.
I love football, cycling and playing ski. Really love doing sports, even thou I am very little :)haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The only reason is that I just don't have much money to travel Europe for a month without using Couchsurfing! haha
It's a joke.
The other reason is that chatting and communicating with people from another culture makes my perspective open and makes me fun :)
I have been a "Host" for couple of foreigners who came to Japan and I have introduced Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Tokyo and Sapporo for them as a host.
One traveler said to me "I could know Japan better by visiting with Kotaro than without you". It was really happy to me!

Music, Movies, and Books

Now am watching "Sharclok" broadcasting by the BBC
"The time being" written by Ruth Ozeki is the best reading in English
Favorite Movie is... Nothing special, actually. Well, Japanese animation, Gibri, is fantastic though. For me, Princess Mononoke is the best.
Oh, yeah! Reminded! OO7 is very cleaver.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a ski license to teach beginners.
Well, it's a nothing special.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Japanese and share Japanese information (why PM ABE is popular among civilians, why the Japanese shower toilet is awesome, why Japanese manga HUNTERxHUNTER is the best reading and so on).
