About me

Hi! I'm Inukawa. Please call me Inu.
I'm from Osaka and living in Harajuku, Tokyo. I'm in my forties. After leaving the university, I used to work for a little publishing firm and help my boss edit some magazines related to the Ministry of Education.
Now I teach Japanese and English to children in a cram school, but I don't think I'm good enough at English.
I'm interested in hedgehogs and used to research hedgehog stuff; folktales, legends, proverbs and images, etc. I even had a website to show them, but now I don't anymore.
You may remember Sonic the Hedgehog, the very famous character in a series of computer games from Japan. But I don't like him so much. First of all, he doesn't look like a hedgehog. He must be a kind of blue cat or something. Don't you think so? When I search about hedgehogs, he always appears and disturbs me. Anyway, I know he is loved by a lot of people around the world. Thank you.

犬川です。大阪出身,原宿在住,四十路です。
以前は小さな編集プロダクションで,主に文部省(当時)関係の雑誌の編集(校正・紙面構成)を担当していました。
今は,とある学習塾で,国語や英語を教えていますが,英語にはもっと習熟したいと感じています。
ハリネズミに興味があり,以前はハリネズミについての雑学サイトを運営していましたが,閉鎖してしまいました。
ハリネズミと言うと「ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ」を連想する人もあるかもしれませんが,あのキャラクターは,あまり好きではありません。あれはハリネズミではなく,青いネコだと思っています。
