Yuko is an advocate of animal rights and sustainable living. Born and raised in Yokohama. She has many friends from overseas since she is interested in foreign cultures, languages, and people. She enjoys traveling and has visited over 80 cities in 30 different countries, and this experience has given her a new lens to see Japan and Japanese culture from an objective outsider's point of view. She would like to work on creating sustainable mindsets in Japan by introducing environmentally-conscious efforts and products.
