""I did my basic studies at Iwata High School and my higher education at Fukuoka University.

In my family only I am Catholic, since school I had a lot of interest in world history, especially about the Church and the Popes. And that's how I got to know the faith a little bit. My interest grew day by day, and that's how I came to Oita Cathedral. I met a priest, a former student of Bidasoa.

At the age of 18 I received the sacrament of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. That was a very special day in my life.

This is the joy I want to share with my family and so I pray to God that they will know Christ."".
