Speaker
Gotaro Haruma
Adventurer
At 33 years old, Gotaro Haruma is no ordinary Tsukuba University student. He's a born adventurer and has taken on some seriously risky challenges, like camping journeys spanning over 10,000 kilometers and a solo yacht trip around Japan. He likes to call his adventures a 'real-life RPG,' where the heart of the story lies in the people and creatures he meets along the way. But what fuels his pursuit of adventure? The answer can be traced back to his childhood, marked by feelings of underappreciation by his parents.
