About me

Hello! I’m Keito. I was born and raised in Hakuba, Nagano prefecture. It has many big mountains. Many people climb and skiing there. I used to ski and climb mountains from a young age. I went to a local ski school and did alpine skiing when I was in elementary school. It was cold and very hard. But the sense of accomplishment after skiing was fantastic!

I did a Japan-Korea Ski Exchange when I was junior high school student. First, I went to Korea and received hospitality by Korean students. I was skiing and eating together with there. I thought it was difficult to communicate there. All basic conversations were in English, so I understood the importance of English. Secondary, Korean students came to Japan. So, we performed dances, etc. for our hospitality. My very happy memories!

A lot of English in high school was just reading and writing. However, I found that reading, writing, speaking, and listening are all important in college. So, when I got to college, I tried to be more conscious of listening and speaking English with my friends. That way I could understand what the teacher said in English class. It also made it easier to do assignments. I would like to challenge myself to improve my English skills more, for example, speaking English with my teacher. 

Finally, I like Mangas. We had a variety of Mangas in our home. So, I used to read a lot. Especially the ones from “Syuukann syounenn Jump” are my favorite publisher. There representative works include One Piece and NARUTO. These were very interesting and I read them over and over again. If you had some free time, read on.

Thank you for reading!
