“It started I was taking pictures with a dog for the WinkUp (magazine). It is so adorable that I wanted it so much, but I didn’t get to have it, instead I have Kenshiro.”(1999 WinkUp)

 

- - - - - - - - Why name him Kenshiro? - - - - - - - -

“I name it after the name of a comic character. I hope that he can be very strong, and because I’m not. ^^ I think that’s the reason.” (1999 WinkUp)

“After having Kenshiro, home seems to be different? It’s like I’m no longer alone. He’s cute! Just like a kid. Maybe I can’t say that he’d made my life better, but now I keep thinking what I can do for him. I’ll bring him out for a walk in the morning. I’d bring him out for work too. But if I bring him out to crowded places he’ll feel tire. People will say ’”so cute” and touch him, although he did not get angry but if he does he would get scolded.”(Potato 1999)

“Kenshiro will look after the house, when I leave the house in the morning, I would put some of the music that I always listen and leave my T-shirt on the bed, hoping that he would not feel lonely before I go out. I’m thinking that whether I should get him a girlfriend.”(Potato 1999)

“When I’m crying, even if he is sleeping he will come to me and lick my tears. But by doing that, he make me feel like crying. He always behaves just like a kid, but then at that moment, he is just like my relative consoling me...”(1999 TV Kids)
