Personal Quotes
[Talking about who is James Kazama]
"Um... James is a responsible guy, rare to say "NO" before he've trieded his best and he is a good problem solver, a very good organizer and a responsible guy. He is also a brave adventurer, never afraid to challenge any new things in a careful way, but he never forget the very basic and original things inside him."

[When asking what he think about Life]
"Eh... I think life is something you can share, to create with the others... and Somewhere you can loves and cares about the others and... you can be with somebody you're in love with."
[On being asked by what does he think about Earth]
"Earth is a big village, all the countries on the Earth are neighbors for each other. There're never only you or only me, but there're "ALWAYS WE" (You + Me). Actually, I think we're in the dangerous situation, our planet have been polluted seriously. Someone in somewhere may think, if they're country have been polluted, they can move to another country so they can be far away from the effections. But I think, if the wind still blowing, no matter where we run, we're still under the same roof, those pollutions will come to us one day. "Ever met someone who've forted in a same elevator with you?" (He smile and his face ran a bit red while saying this.) Why don't we think... and do something for the others and ourselves? Do something for our next generation, our next next generations, our next next next....? We all living in the same planet where can we go? Outta Space? Well, if "ALIEN" does exist, then tell me which planet will accept the pollutor like us? I think they probably will grap their laser gun, point to our head and "BANG" us before we've stepped out from our atmosphere, they won't allow us to poison the space, but unfortunately we've already did.... I hope it won't be too late... I'm not a superman, but I would like to do what I can do to protect my planet, and would you like to protect our planet with me? (He's saking me, and of course I don't have to think twice then I said: YES!)"
