Kikuchi-san once encountered a teacher who gave him wholehearted support and treated him with sincere care, a person whose profound influence changed the course of his life. In turn, he extended that same sincerity and passion to the patients he treated and the athletes he guided. It’s not just about fulfilling one’s duty. It’s about “no matter what, I want to do something for this person.” In the end, it all comes down to the bonds between people. And maybe that’s what makes this journey so moving—the complete trust and unwavering support between two individuals.
