1 The most influential person in my life My most influential persons are my mother, father and my mentor. When I was teenager, I couldn’t respect my parents so much, but after I encounter with my mentor, I changed my feeling toward my parents. I was born in Japan, and came to Unites States while I entered early twenties. Because I influenced by my mother who watched Hollywood movie all the time. I remember, since when I was toddler, I sit next of my mother, and watched Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, 007, and any of romantic movie from the Hollywood. One day, I saw vast blue sky on the sky in Japan, I determine to visit in America to see same sky in the American cinema. My mother was a photographer in Japan, but I don’t know how she became the photographer, because country in Japan has a little difficult for female to become professional photographer. Maybe other of my relative was photographer. But I have so many photos that taken by my mother, she was an impressionism and took numerous picture of the mount Fuji or very mystic object of corroboration with the flower. Sometime she took the picture from the sky, It would be my legacy and memory of my mother. My memory of my father was always suffered, not only for his illness of Diabetes, but also he suffered something tremendously. I didn’t know what was exactly created tremendous suffer to my father. I encounter my mentor and his wife when I was early twenties. Who is my most respectful person in my life. Unforgettable day that first time I met my mentor, it was a day of beautiful blue sky in California. He is a founder of a University in California, and he visited in his school from Japan and my friend keep telling me how he was dedicated his life in humanitarian and created tremendous history by his effort. It was very mystic that I didn’t invited special ceremony in his school, but I felt that I have to go and visited in campus. When I arrived at the campus, the special security guard was stopping me to enter the auditorium, so I just waited on front. More than thousands of participants were entered in the auditorium. Then door was closed. Therefore, I alone stay in out-side of the door, then, suddenly the auditorium door was opened. And one gentleman said with big smile: “Came on in!” When I was entering the auditorium, a huge poll was on front of me, and blocked all of my view, but I had strange confidence that I supposed to meet the founder of this University. Then announcement resonate: “Founder will enter now” at this moment everyone stand up and clapping the hands. But I start cry. I didn’t understand why I am cry so much, just like a tear over flow from my top of the head through tip of the toe. And I sit down on the isle. I don’t remember how many minute I was cry but may 90 minutes that seems my body would be dry out. End of the meeting, a final announcement resonated again: “Thank you so much, founder will be out of the room!” Everyone over flow their enthusiasm with big smile, but I was still cry. At this moment, I look up, then one small gentleman was standing on front of me. It was founder of the University, he heading directory toward me, and stand up his thump. It just like all phenomenon around of me are stopped at this moment, and revitalized all of my memory from the remote past that he is my life of mentor. After I encounter with my mentor, I read his book with my best effort. He received more than 300 honorary doctorates for his effort of humanitarian activity, and declared the peace proposal every year toward United Nations, and his peace movement was expanded to all over the world. But he continue telling to all young student for very simple that “appreciate your parents, give the big smile to your parent at least three times a day. Provide good manner to your parents. Repay your gratitude toward your parents.” I agreed, but it was not easy to challenge for me. Because, there is a traumatic incidence occur in my house. It was the day of cold winter in Japan, and I was at age of 10. Suddenly I heard loud voice of my father, I didn’t know why, but he was yelling toward my mother. I was so afraid, but try to enter in their conversation, but at this moment, I headed scream of mother and her hair was burnt. I saw smoke and sensed bad smell. It seemed father put fire on mother hair. I try to rescue mother from my father, and I don’t remember how we escape but mother was cry so much which first time I ever saw my mother’s tear. That day was last time to see my father, because I headed that he passed away by his diabetes after a short while of this incidence. I suffered long time about this incidence and never be able to forgive my father even he already deceased. And my mother’s hair was never growing again, so while I attend the high school in Japan, I determine to learn hair designer skill to fix my mother’s hair. One day, my mother encounter very kind nice gentleman, to be re-marry, and at this time, she didn’t need to fix her hair anymore, because new husband loved her everything even she has no hair on the top. Therefore, I look over the blue sky and determine to coming in United States by myself. Then I encounter with my mentor. After three years later I met with my mentor, I read a peace proposal written by my mentor, he stated a vision of unification of Asia and I grasped his proposal that is I wanted. I don’t know why I felt such strongly, but I declared the words by myself to say. “Rid the misery from the face earth.” I assume now, that was also my father’s dream, it heard continuously since I was at toddler age. Holding vast dream with my mentor, I study the concept of humanitarian philosophy and searching what I can dedicate my life to other and day by day, I succeed my career of an artist, and working with first class of entertainment industries in Hollywood, but I prefer to step into the humanitarian activity and journey to all over the world. But I still couldn’t over coming traumatic incidence of my parents and couldn’t express my gratitude toward my parents. But one day, we found that my mother had terminal cancer and after 7 days later, she passed away. About few months ago, my friend introduced me a book, which sold online at Korea. That book was written by my father, about his life story. My father was born in Korea and worked for the government in Korea. He came to Japan while Korea had Coup d’état of governmental revolution, and his parents and brother were assassinated on front of my father by own national from the Coup d’état. That was a reason for my father to live in Japan. I assumed, living in Japan as foreigner was not easy for everyone, because Japanese language is very complicate. But he tried his best effort to achieve his goal to establish own building in Japan. But he had Past Trauma Stress Disorder (PTSD) since he lost his family. But psychological treatment was tremendously behind in Japan, no one be able to find my father’s PTSD. The day of my father fire on my mother’s hair, he had Flash Back on his memory and lost his control. The life has four seasons, and winter will turn into the spring without to fail. I saw and experience of agony and suffer of my parents and family. But I learned tremendous effort of the life force from my parents and my mentor. My life is fully inspired by them. I would like to study from beginning to understanding America and achieve my dream with my legacy of my father and mother, together with my mentor. I have a dream to establish a research center of the unification of Asia. The location shall be in Okinawa, Japan, and this research center needs to be the University of United Nation –Asian Head Quarter. I don’t know it would takes how long, but I would like to prepare all of my research and proposal to next generation continue, and summon up the revolution with grass root movement. We shall rid misery from the face of earth! This is the words from my mentor, and my father was talk to me about the vision of unification of Asia when I was born. Which will start from America that was my mother’s desire. Richard Nicolaus Eijiro Coudenhove-Kalergi who was a father of the unification of Europe stated: “Historical accomplishment always start from utopia and executed by realization.” Thank you so much for my parents and my mentor, I would express depth of my gratitude from the bottom of my heart. They are most influential person in my life.
