Profile
If you know me personally, I would be happy to keep in touch on X (@___okumura___) or Facebook. If we have not met but you would like to talk with me, please reach out on X (@nori_broccoli).
My icon was created by my friend Yos (@yossense, author of the blog Yossense). It combines broccoli, my favorite food, with emoticons, which I have been interested in recently. A tired, dejected broccoli is a rare kind of character, and both Yos and I are very fond of it.
