In high school, he was a "failure," ranking in the 200s out of 230 students. Economically, the option of taking the university entrance exam didn't even exist. At the age of twenty, he went to America as an agricultural trainee and, in the "serf life," he resolved to change. Blessed with his inherent "persistence" and lifelong mentors who recognized the potential of a hardworking student from Japan, the "walls of fate" were quickly broken down.
