About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Go to the Amazon in south America and raft down the river, and make a documentary film of it.

ABOUT ME

I am romantic.
I have a great dream; to live by performing on street, to travel the world including the dangerous places on earth, and to express what I saw or felt there by filming and performing.
I have graduated University nearly 2 years ago where I studied acting and filming.
I have walked 350km in Japan in summer without money(2007)
I walked 500km in Nepal and cycled 1000km in India(2008)
I rafted down the Amazon river for 1500km alone(2008)
I lived with homeless people in winter in Tokyo and filmed, made a series of reportage on YouTube(2010)
I worked as a video-journalist when Japan had an earthquake on Mar.2011
I have lived in London almost without using any money but by performing on street

My mission now is to go back to Japan, work hard, and make money for traveling and filming in the Amazon, raft down the whole 6000km length of the Amazon river, and to make a documentary film that would make people move!
Also, I want to study miming and clowning so that I will be able to make money on streets.

I love to make friends from all over the world and to share and explore our culture, and to have a big community of friends!

PHILOSOPHY

do it, Do It, DO IT!!!
