"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...?"

"I was the most popular when I was in kindergarten. I got some chocolate and put it in my rucksack, and my mum saw it. She said, "If you don't give a return present, it's no good", so on White Day, she gave me some sweets, and said "Give these to the girls who gave you chocolate".
But, it's really embarrassing to give girls presents, isn't it? I kept them in my rucksack all day, and then I took the bus home. The sweets were still in my bag, so my mum yelled, "I told you to give those to the girls! This is no good!" and she smacked me around (*laugh*). That's how I first learned about Valentine's Day and White Day.
I've always liked bad girls who wear black. When I watch things like Kamen Rider, I want to fall in love with the female villains. I like that kind of "darkness". I like that kind of appearance, but they have to be super serious, too. I like reliable people, and people who care about children and animals.
I don't have any friends, so I want to get married. If I have kids, I can play with them. For me, that's lucky. Because I don't have any friends... On my days off, if I had kids, we could go for a walk in the park together, and I don't need to keep in touch with friends. I want to play together with kids until they get sick of me. I've always liked kids, and if the kids like their dad, too... I'm aiming for that kind of win-win relationship."
