I was born in Japan and proudly embrace my heritage and culture, so no wonder Shohei Ohtani is my favorite baseball player. I love to travel the world capturing its natural beauty through my DSLR lens, all while immersing myself in new cultures rich with arts, new music, delicious foods, beautiful architecture, inspiring stories, complicated linguistics and history. When I am not taking pictures, I’m equally at home in the pool for water polo and on the baseball field, all while finding solace and creativity in the arts of cooking, sketching, painting and music.
