Nima of the month: September 2017

KATSUO HIGUCHI, a Brazilian Nisei, was born in the city of Pompéia, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, but spent his childhood until he was 12 years old in Tupã, another city in the same state. He has lived in the capital, São Paulo, for many years, where he graduated in Law, married a Nisei, and has 3 children and 2 granddaughters. Practically his entire professional life has been focused on the area of Human Resources, where he specialized in dealing with “people”, his passion. He was an executive, director and businessman. Another passion he has always had was “writing”. Since he was young, he contributed to school and company newspapers and, sometimes, he dared to send articles to newspapers in the Japanese community of SP, which were published daily. He has been contributing to the newspaper NippoBrasil for some time now and, recently, he had the pleasure of being accepted as a Contributor to Discover Nikkei.
