My name is Toru.
The pronunciation is to + o + ru, but foreigner friends of mine pronounce it by to + ru, and it's all right.
I am a 40 y/o Japanese fat open-minded man living in Tokyo at this point ( in 2019/Feb ).
Drummer + translator + business analyst ( of IT ) + cook + Giant Escape rider

Being the professional drummer, I built and opened my website with my Ubuntu barebone computer so that I could introduce myself and the drum school to target Japanese customers.
Suddenly one day, an idea flashed into my mind, which was "you should do what you are good regardless of your personal history".
Do I like it? Do I want to do it? No.
You are just going to where you can be of help.
OK.
