I'm Ryota Tsukamoto, 23, and majoring in Economics at Hiroshima University. Please call me Ryota. I'm. Born and raised in Fukuoka, and now live in Hiroshima, Japan. I love traveling various places, thinking various topics, and talking or interacting with various people. Since I was a child, I’ve changed my environment sometimes, and made various friends. My English ability is not native level yet cuz I'm studying, but like talking with various country people so feel free to talk to me, I also try to talk proactively. I think I have a peaceful mind and do things at my own pace little bit but I also can walk in someone else's shoes. Let’s talk and interact!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like various songs, both Japanese and foreign, and both old and lately musics. Especially, I love Eric Clapton, Earth Wind & Fire, Madonna, Jimmy Eat the World, The 1975, HAIM, Maroon 5, and m-flo(Japanese artists) . You know, these artists just especial, I also like the other a lot of songs. My best movie is “Intouchable”.

Teach, Learn, Share

The Spatial Economy. I’m studying about the spatial aspects of the economy—that is, where economic activity occurs and why. You know, now there are a lot of cities in Japan and all over the world. I’m thinking about the reasons why cities are formed, and if we Japanese can utilize the power of cities,probably Japanese economic will grow in the future. I’m, however, just a undergraduate student so not specialist. Of course, I like not only economics, learning history, politics, art, and the other things.
