After retiring from the advertising agency where he worked for many years, he was on the verge of going out on the street when he was invited to join the BBB by the representative, Mr. Hanada. He supports the tour as a driver and coordinator, and is in fact an invisible hero.
In his private life, he buys a used road bike and a fat bike on the spur of the moment, but only rides them about 10 days a year. As the new year begins, he sets a goal to become a cyclist.
