Passing the Torch


The piece of advice that I pass onto you, the readers of this post, is the following:

  • Be steadfast in the pursuit of your goals
    • An example of my steadfastness was when I partook in adventure with m y close friend Violet and persevered through the Yakuza territory in Tokyo and discovering a traitor within my family's business.
The reason that I chose this piece of advice to pass onto you is that over the weeks that Violet and I investigated the Van Gogh thief, for a moment I lost hope but in that hopeless void I found the strength o persevere through these challenges and to rise victorious. Going by these principles, Violet and I discovered the Van Gogh thief and restored my families honour.

Hobbies and Desires

As a young Japanese man, I enjoy reading manga alone or with my friends, eating ramen while socializing and I have always had a deep passion for fine art including the works of Van Gogh. My passion for reading manga originated when I was a young boy in elementary and middle school where my friends and I would exchange and borrow each other's books. This helped my passion grow throughout my life and said passion has led me to meet and connect with wonderful people including Violet.

This prominent figure in my life is no mere person, she is a person that has led me ...

Tales of the Past

The biggest adventure of my life so far was when a strange American girl came to my household with her father because precious Van Gogh drawings had been stolen on their way to my family's art gallery. This rose the tensions between the family that owns the Van Gogh drawings, the Yamadas and my family, the Tanakas, which would have brought great shame upon my family name. In order to restore my family name, I joined forces with Violet, the strange American girl and together we tried to discover who stole the Van Goghs. We began our investigation at my family's art gallery where we discovered clues that led us throughout Yakuza ridden streets of Tokyo.  Throughout it all I was afraid for my and Violet's life while going through the Yakuza territory.  After weeks of searching, with tensions growing between families, I was starting to lose hope until I finally discovered real evidence that a trusted inner circle member of my family gave the Yakuza access to the informat...

Humble Beginnings

Hello world, My name is Kenji Tanaka. My interests include ramen, art and creativity while exploring Tokyo with my friend. I am fluent in both English and Japanese which has helped me diversify my friend group throughout both cultures. Recently I got to meet an incredible girl, (I will not mention her name for obvious reasons) who I spend a lot of time with while she was travelling in Tokyo on family business.  Due to the fact that I was born and raised in Japan I had the ability to act as her guide and interpreter through the Yakuza ridden streets of Tokyo.
