Hi, I'm E-chan

About 37 years ago when I was student of the Saitama Univercity, my colleagues started to call me E-chan, Because I looked like MATSUYAMA Etaro, one of the famous acter at that time and having nick name of E-chan as well.
There were another E-chan for those days. The most famous E-chan was the SATO Eisaku, the Prime Minister awarded Nobel Prise for Peace in 1974. Both of original E-chans were passed away years ago. But this E-chan is still in this world.
