From the recorded profile

This is a translation of the source description. Dates, affiliations and plans refer to the source’s publication context, not a guarantee of current activity.

He loves Kumamoto's delicious rice, delicious water, delicious food, and delicious air. That is why he dislikes cigarette smoke, which gets in the way a little... It is also bad for health, so he encourages everyone to quit smoking. He is a slightly laid-back boy, but once he makes up his mind, he has the inner strength to see it through no matter what.
