Episode 27 -- Kou Ebisawa, Sales Manager of Sanyo Corp. of America

Made in Japan-- Conversations with Meljo Catalan

"Kikokushijo" is a Japanese word referring to a child born outside the country but returns back to Japan. It also coincides with the child of a Japanese expatriate who receives a part of their education outside Japan. The latter term is often held in high esteem within the Japanese society however the child undoubtedly attracts the weight of jealousy and alienation among one's peers. I'm going to switch it up on this episode as I present you Kou's story ( @ebikou ) . A Japanese man who was born and with a twist of fate, eventually made in America. This is an individual that is still figuring out his own journey yet I consider one of the lucky ones that was produced by Corporate Japan and has never given into complacency.
