Born in Osaka, Japan, Kei works as as graphic designer and his hobbies include hiking and camping. He lives with his wife and his two dogs, Cookie and Sid.
Not being satisfied with Japanese branded mountain gear, he imports his gear from brands located all round the world. He has made lots of friends through his wildly popular Instagram account (found here) including Nat Wagstaff. Being a big fan of Pack Config, he feels honoured to be part of the team. He is glad to have a platform for sharing his experiences in Japan with the rest of the world.
