Ryota Kitamura

●Also known as
The Drill Sergeant (Was I named that because of how I look, or how I act? Meet me to find out!)

●Why my job is worthwhile
I feel my job’s value in knowing how the products I hold end up via the manufacturing process, and how they contribute to the world.

●Hobbies
I played baseball for 15 years until University. I played alongside well know athletes Horihiro Nakamura (currently with Yokohama DeNa BayStars) and So Taguchi (previously with Orix Buffaloes).
While I wasn’t able to become a pro baseball player, I strive in my work to keep a pro-outlook.

●How I spend my time off
Because my son has joined the youth baseball team I used to be a part of, I spend all my time giving guidance to the adorable youngsters so that they grow up in the future to be capable adults. (It’s rather difficult however, as they don’t really listen...)
