"My first love was when I was in the fourth year of elementary school. She had a beautiful smile, and she was the kind of girl everyone liked. There was also someone I liked in junior high school, but I'm not the proactive type, so it stayed an unrequited love.
I had my first girlfriend when I was in the first year of high school, and she was in the year below me. My hometown of Ibaraki was close to the sea, so we would ride our bikes to the sea and go to her house and things like that. We didn't go anywhere special.
When it got close to White Day, I didn't know what it would be good to give her as a return present, so I was really confused. I was always practicing at wrestling club, and I didn't have time, so I thought it would be good to get her something she could use regularly. I ended up getting her a scarf. When I bought it, I had my parents come with me... It was my first time buying a present like that, so I couldn't choose the best one by myself.
But, it didn't last very long... I didn't contact her much, and she used to talk about that a lot. She said it felt one-sided, so we ended things. From then on, I devoted myself to wrestling.
My ideal type is... not someone who is over-excitable. I like calm people. Because of that, maybe I'd like someone older. As for famous people, I've always liked Maki Horikita. I also like Yui Aragaki and girls like her, because I like that type.
I like kids, so if I meet the right person, I'd like to get married someday, but she'd have to be the kind of person who'd work on a farm with me. I wonder if that kind of girl exists...?"
