Hello,

 

I have been enjoying hiking with the group for nearly two years and truly enjoy meeting new hikers as well as talking weekly with the 'regulars'.  I also like to lead as long as it isn't in Kincaid park as I tend to get lost.....

FAQ about the Fearless Leader.

 

 

What do I call you?

 

I am notorious for having many different nicknames.  In this hiking group and other places most people call me "Toshi."  However, among my friends and co-workers, I am known as "Hamachan."  There may be other nicknames floating around, which I am not responsible.  Some call me using different nicknames depending on social situation.

 

 

Where does "Hamachan" come from?

 

The nickname, "Hamachan", is my original Japanese nickname.  It derives from "Hama" (from first 2 syllables of my last name) + "chan" (Japanese conventional surfix for names).   This Japanese naming convention can also applied to non-Japanese.  For instance, a name "Ginger" becomes "Ginger-chan" or more shorter to "Gin-chan". 

 

 

What is your dog's name?

 

My dog's name is Sheba.  She is a Malamute-Husky mix.   

 

 

How long have you been in Alaska? 

 

I have been in Alaska since 2001.  I came here by chance.  I just happened to got a job at the Alaska Department of Fish & Game.  I am a Biometrician of the AYK Commercial Fisheries Division.   I have never thought about living in Alaska.  Many friends told me that I am very much suited for Alaska.  They were absolutely right.  I have been enjoying living here.  

 

 

What is your favorite hike?

 

Every hike brings wonders of nature.  I love every hikes.
