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.
