I’m from Oyodo, Nara — born in ’94, grew up there through high school, then left for university.

At Kobe University, I studied agriculture — researching the aroma of fruits, such as Japanese pepper and pear.

After graduating, I worked in R&D at a cosmetics company, and later in supporting atotsugi (family business successors).

I went independent in 2024, and back in Nara.
