Profile
Kota Kodama, PhD

Born on July 8th, 1974

I have lived in various places all over Japan from the south (Fukuoka) to the north (Sapporo), but recently I learned that I can’t live in the city anymore.
I am an enthusiastic carp fan, but afraid that a long ice age will come after the recent golden age.
