Summary
I was born and grew up in Japan.
Both of my parents had jobs unrelated to horse racing but my uncle likes horse racing, so I asked him to take me to the racetrack, and that was the first time I saw a horse race up close, and I aspired to become a jockey.
After that, I wanted to become a jockey in Japan, so I applied to a horse racing school, but the Japanese horse racing world was a tough one and I couldn't get in without connections.
But I didn't want to give up on my dream, so I went to France, a country where horses are much closer, and there I took the chance to enter a horse racing school and obtained my jockey's license.
My current goal is to become the best jockey in the world. To achieve this, I will work harder than anyone else and strive to become a jockey who understands the horse's feelings.
