Born in Kumamoto Prefecture in 1989. I am working hard to improve myself every day in order to take good pictures. First of all, I take protein in the morning and evening, two bottles of vegetable juice a day, vitamins C and B, and Chinese herbal medicine to prevent rough skin. I also stretch after taking a bath, always wear a posture correction belt around my waist at home, and always carry a scalp massager. I am also in the process of straightening my teeth, and I am also working on correcting my tongue along with it. Thanks to all these efforts, I am busy every day!
