It was my dream to work in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. I am very happy to be living in the big city I've always admired.

My current enjoyment comes from playing futsal with my colleagues on my days off, once every two weeks. I was so happy when the company made us special futsal uniforms.
I also enjoy visiting Buddhist statues. Of all the statues I've seen so far, the one that surprised me the most was the Ushiku Daibutsu in Ibaraki Prefecture. It seems to be the third largest in the world. I hope everyone will go and see it at least once.

At work, having gained considerable experience as a craftsman, I'm working hard as a liaison between the foreman and the younger workers on site. In the future, I want to marry my girlfriend who lives in Japan. To achieve that, I want to continue working at my current company, improve my skills, and increase my income.
