“I got asked by my teacher: 'Why don't we do a play for the cultural festival?', and that's how I got started in acting. The teacher that I talked about is a very interesting person, and also one of my most favorite teachers, so I thought I'd give it a try. But when I came to practice, it turned out that I was the only student, and the others were all teachers. But they were all very interesting individuals, so I had a lot of fun.”
