Welcome to my "Kintaroh's" homepage. "Kintaroh" is the name of a famous
character in Japanese folk story. He is a muscle boy, powerful, and
brave. I have used this name as my nickname in internet world since 1991.
Unfortunately, real I am not muscle, powerful, and brave boy, just
middle age Japanese man.
I apologize that only this page is available in English.
My Background
I was given birth in Nagoya city, which geometrically locates at middle
area of Japan. Both of my parents are Christian who belong to a Protestant
Church, "Church of Nazaren" (Methodist).
I have been living in the westyard of Nagoya station for about
30 years, except 1 year in Takayama and 2 years in Kyoto and 4 years in
Toyonaka (Osaka).
I was baptized at St.John (Gotanjoh) Catholic Church, Nagoya, in 1993,
so that I am now a Catholic, unfortunately not like my parents.
My Hobby, Interests
I love hiking, and walking, weekend cooking.
I like listening almost all kind of music - rock'n'roll, popular, jazz,
and classical - and opera.
For example, I love Yes(Band), Nik Kershaw(Male Singer), Laura Pausini(Female
Singer), Micel Petrucianni(Jass Pianist), Bruno Walter(Conducter), and
Elly Ameling(Soprano), so on.
I love singing in Chorus. My part is Bariton. I am now a member of
Choir of Catholic Gifu church. Sometimes I take solo part of Latin Mass
.
