(Note: I use AI to help me translate my stories from Japanese to English.)
I read the autobiography Ichi-gyo Ichi-e written by Sakana-kun, a Japanese teacher at Tokyo’s Kaiyo University who is famous for his extensive knowledge of and enthusiasm for fish.
He is called Sakana-kun, which means “fish boy” in Japanese. Recently, his life has been made into a movie. He even appeared on the BBC as a fish expert.
Whenever I see him on TV, I always smile. He is like a child in an adult’s body and always jumps with joy and squeals on TV.
I like him very much because his love for fish is very pure, and he seems to truly enjoy everyday life.
While reading his book, I sometimes laughed because he always thought about fish while growing up and always drew pictures of them.
My favorite story was when he worked at a fish shop. He made many mistakes, was scolded by his boss many times, and even had to pay for the damaged fish with his own salary!
After reading his book, I realized that he faced many hardships and worried about his future just like us, but he overcame these obstacles through his love for fish.
He wrote that loving or liking something is the greatest power.
I would like to have the same humility, diligence, and enthusiasm as Sakana-kun.
