Hello, I'm Hiko. I love cars, bicycles, and traveling. A few years ago, I was a racing driver and competed at Suzuka Circuit. Every year, I go with guests to watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Suzuka. Car enthusiasts are always welcome! I usually drive a Tesla electric vehicle, but I also own a Kenmeri as a hobby. My favorite words are "downhill" and "depreciation." Nice to meet you!
