MAKOICHI

My first impression of him was that he was gentle and soft-spoken. However, this is only a superficial part of his personality; he also has the openness and good-naturedness to get into a bad joke, and his large “receptivity” sometimes helped me.

While he builds his creations smartly based on theory, he also has a high level of motivation, always keeping in mind what he wants to express and the impact he wants to have on others, and maintaining a certain level of enthusiasm. I genuinely respect this attitude.

In his private life, he is also an entertainer. He proposes day-trip excursions, or a short stroll through the downtown area or a Japanese-style garden, and his suggestions range from the grand to the small, and are always fresh, stimulating, and interesting.
