Manuscript of My Introduction

About myself
My name is Shinichiro T. Please call me “Hammer”. I’m 20 years old. My blood type is “B”. I was born on November 4. So, my zodiac sign is Scorpio. My hometown is Kasuga which lies near by Kumamoto station. I have lived there for about 20 years. I love my town.


My family
There are four members in my family. They are my father, my mother, my older sister and me. My father is a high school teacher. His specialty is metallic engineering. He likes classical music. He can play the cello and the piano. My mother is housewife. She is around 50. she always says “Don’t tell my age to anyone!” So, it’s a secret OK?” My older sister is 24 years old. She works at cake shop. She is very unique. Her action makes us laugh.

A part time job
I have worked at Daiei Kumamoto store for three years. It’s a part time job. I sell daily necessities, beddings, bikes, stationeries and so on. I work on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Please come to Daiei. I’ll welcome to you with a beautiful smile.


My hometown
My hometown Kasuga is surrounded by nature though it lies near the city area. The people are friendly and kind. It’s a good place to live. However, it has changed in these days because of the construction of Shinkansen. It may be good for the growth of Kumamoto City, but I feel a little sad to see that my memorial places are changing. Anyway, I love Kasuga and I want to live here forever.


My favorite sports
I like baseball. I belonged to the baseball team when I was a high school student. I like not only playing but also watching baseball. I’ve been a fan of the Hanshin Tigers since I was a junior high school student. My favorite players are Mr. Hamanaka, Mr. Kanemoto and Mr. Hiyama.

One of my hobbies
I like collecting comic books. I began to collect them when I was a high school student. There are about 1,500 comic books at my house. It is my dream to collect more than 10,000 comic books. The comics are one of the Japanese cultures which we are proud of.


My favorite cartoonists
My favorite cartoonists are Adachi Mitsuru and Takahashi Rumiko. My father likes them too. So, we have most of their series. Adachi’s works won my heart. They are full of human feelings and humor. I love all his works but I like “H2” the best. Please read it by all means. Takahashi’s works are rich in variety. “Urusei-Yatsutra” and “Ranma” are eccentric and “Mezon- Ikkoku” is a little tender. I am always surprised at her various ideas.


My favorite movies
The Godzilla movies are my favorite. Among all works, the early ones have high quality, I think. I began to watch Godzilla movies before I entered an elementary school. So, I have been a Godzilla fan for about fifteen years. My recommended works were made from 1989 to 1996.


My favorite music
I love singing or listening to music. As for classical music, I like Chopin’s music. His NO.7 waltz is wonderful. I like pop music too. My favorite singer is Keisuke Kuwata. A happy felling pervade my heart whenever I listen to his songs his music is marvelous.

My favorite places
I have three favorite places. The first one is the narrow wooden deck at my house. I sometimes enjoy sitting there just gazing vacantly at the drifting clouds. I feel as if the time stops. The second one is the top of Mt. Hanaoka. I live at the foot of Mt. Hanaoka and I have climbed it many times. The view from the top is splendid. I have a feeling that I am in the center of the world when I stand there. The third one is Boo-chan’s house. Boo-chan is the nickname of my close friend. We have been good friends for more than ten years. We often visit each other. His room is always in a mess but it’s comfortable for me.
