To me who was a child at that time
Kazuki Saitou 17 years old. Otsuchi Iwate. 19 Feb 2019. Kazuki is a high school student. The tsunami hit Otsuchi when he was nine. After the evacuation, the shelter had no food and he had no food for a few days. When he was a child, he saw the tsunami-swept town and wanted to leave the town and become a firefighter in Tokyo. However, when he learned that Kazuki's close firefighter died in the tsunami, he reconsidered himself and his town. It made Kazuki become a firefighter in Otsuchi who defends the town.
