Me and my brother who is 7 years younger than me.

Country : Japan

Region : Tokyo

Introducing myself :

I go to a cosmopolitan high school with many students from different countries. It is good to know different ideas and perspectives from various countries, which will help to widen my views and enhance my knowledge.

I am now mostly involved in my cheerleading club activities. Cheerleading supports and entertains people with the participants’ smiles and vitality.

In Osaka, I want to take photographs of strong and warm human bonds under the theme of a “Powerful Japan.”

Me and my brother who is 7 years younger than me. I often play with him, lifting him on my shoulder. He is so cute especially when he smiles with his eyes narrowed, which is why I like him.

A local high school we visited on our school trip to South Korea. We tried on traditional Korean clothes, cooked Korean sweets and home-style dishes, and taught Japanese and Korean languages to each other. It was a memorable event. I am standing in the far right in Korean dress.
