Though I wrote about it on "Where are you from?" Thread simply, I'll try to write here again and detail. I have to tell my life before the story meeting with KanColle.

I'm native Japanese, born in Osaka.And a native Osaka dialect speaker the same as  Ryujou,lol.

Anyway, my grangfather had worked at some DD, for example Harusame, Kawakaze, etc as a naval pay officer, and  he especially loved Harusame.I don't know why, I think he got her when she sunk.

And when I was young, I don't know why, many former naval soldiers and officers was around my house, for example, Haruna, Akagi, Taigei(ryuuhou), Zuikaku, Akebono etc. 30 years ago, there many many people like them around here in Japan.

Especially, my neighborhood had been Kongou's gunnary chief ,I called him "Second granpa" because he was very kind and looked very cool and 助平(sukebei. Means dirty old man or love women). I remember he had a huge model of Kongou(I think it was above 2 meter) at his house, I said to him when I was 7 year's old:

Me: Give me Kongou ('s model) when you're dead !

... I think it's really impolite rquire, my mother got upset extremely when she heard it, lol

He told me with a big laugh and seriously,


 * No, I have to take it to my Kongou's friends at Heaven. Though you are too young to realize, It's my...no,OUR SOUL AND GRAVE. Of course, I could not understand, but I understand their meaning now.

Sometimes I think playing KanColle ; if they meet KanColle now, how do they think about it...Well, they must be very glad because they're all really loved girls,lol

I heard many naval things from them, I was interested in IJN and its history first. Those days many Japanese had a allergy about the War and millitary affairs,but it's pretty favorable for Navy. But nobody taught us real history.

The reason many young Japanese people plays and love KanColle, though Kanmusus are cute first, they want to know the histrical fact. Honestly, many Japanese TTKs are starting to study IJN for themselves. It's like that Karate beginner wants to be strong or being loved by girls, but studied deeply he realized its background.

I studied IJN's history and modern Japanese history at the University,and after gratuated I have studied Mandarin and little Cantonese at China and HongKong, so I have no chance to study English,lol

After that, I became a language teacher at JMSDF for several years, and studied the history of Navy for myself again and teach them at private because young officer didn't know it at all.

I often go to Maizuru or Kure for researching and traveling,one day I saw a sdvertisement about Maizuru City at railway station. It was Shimakaze, now I remenbered there was also Amatsukaze, because Maizuru was their bornplace.

I thought "Why Shimakaze became a Girl like this? She is very cute." My firiend said," you don't know KanColle?" Iasked him "What's KanColle? Is it Otaku's Comic?" He said, "No, it's a game! You should search it,"

I played KanColle as my researching first, but now, I became a KanColle Otaku and here now,lol.
