Kita Entertainment District Environmental Purification Promotion Council
He was born in 1966. Although born Japanese, his legal name is registered in Japan. Now in his 22nd year living in Tenma, he spends his days circulating around Kita Ward, Osaka City. His main work is as a web director and DTP director, and he also works as a magazine and book editor and PR director. He is involved in various community activities from a public‑relations perspective and serves as editor‑in‑chief of the Kita Ward local magazine “Tsuhimabu.” A child of expos, he visited the 1970 Osaka Expo at age four and participated on the exhibitor side at the 1990 International Garden and Greenery Exposition. He looks forward to seeing how he will be involved in EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai.
We note that Osaka‑Kita will soon welcome many people from across Japan and around the world. Grand Green Osaka (Ume‑kita Phase 2) will have a soft opening in September, and EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai follows in April 2025. Everyone who has participated so far says in unison, “Guiding people around the city is fun!” Those brief moments and connections with inbound visitors become truly wonderful experiences. Some participants even say, “This activity suits me!” Shifting from endless crime‑prevention work to appreciated, enjoyable hospitality, we are working to make Umeda a nightlife and entertainment district where everyone can feel safe and have fun leading up to the Expo.
