Hiromitsu also won the Grand Prize of DCA 2005 JUNIOR, and he is the younger brother of Yoshimitsu, who won last year's Grand Prize. Hiromitsu is the youngest of four brothers. Although the brothers sometimes get into fights, they are very close. We interviewed Hiromitsu, who is stimulated everyday by his older brothers in various aspects. |
