This is me
and Keiko on our wedding. We were so young. Good old days -- they seem
to be so far away now.
This is my wife Keiko. She is always prepared for a fight. She is a tough
woman, as the saying goes: Gunma women enslave their husbands. You'd better
keep away from a Gunma woman.
This is our daughter Irene. She was born on Feb. 7, 1996. She is such an
apple in the eye. She suffered from a trouble called Pierre Robin Syndrome
when she was born, but she has amazingly recovered from it, and now she
is full of energy. We are often exhausted chasing after her. We thank many
people around the world who gave us prayers and moral supports concerning
her defects. Her name Irene means "A Messenger of Peace" in Greek
and "Love thy neighbor" in Japanese and Chinese. We hope, as
her parents, that she will grow to live up to her name.
