Yoshihiro Togashi Handwritten Letter

Togashi sent a handwritten letter to the idol Yumiko Seki, answering 11 questions. The letter was read aloud in the Iwakura and Yoshizumi's Show, on TV Asahi, on November 14th and 21st, 2023.

There's already a translation of the Q&A by the hunter fandom (please read it), but I want to share my favorite parts and maybe some interesting info that was said during the TV program. You can watch the full version on bilibili. The whole film studio was decorated with Hunter x Hunter manuscripts and figures, and BGM from both versions of the anime was played during the broadcast.

The MCs of the show are two female comedians, Yoshizumi and Iwakura. The guests were Yumiko Seki (former Sakurazaka46); singer Toshiya Miyata (Kis-My-Ft2), a huge Hunter x Hunter fan; and the comedian Shintaro Morimoto (TONTSUKATAN) who read Togashi's letter and served as moderator.

At the beginning of the show, Seki-san revealed she met Togashi in a Sakurazaka46 live concert.

Everyone was shocked to learn she met him face-to-face!

Then, Seki-san showed an autographed shikishi Togashi-sensei gave her when she graduated from Sakurazaka46. (T/N: She announced her graduation on December 13, 2022, and graduated on April 30, 2023 at the Sakurazaka46 3rd TOUR 2023).

Killua: "Graduation is the starting line!!"

It's interesting to add that Killua is Seki's favorite character and orange & white were her penlight colors, also her favorite colors. That's why Togashi drew Killua holding a bouquet of orange and white flowers.

Miyata joked that he will make sure that everyone knows he loves Hunter x Hunter by the time he graduates from Kis-My-Ft2 boy band. Morimoto told him "don't graduate just to get a shikishi" (LOL).

By the way, Miyata loves Kurapika, so I hope Togashi gives him a Kurapika shikishi one day :P

Here's Togashi's huge letter!

Before reading sensei's answers, they anticipated the huge success of the show, and came up with the hashtag #冨樫先生からのお手紙 (letter from Togashi-sensei).

It was a success indeed, trending all over social media.

Then, Morimoto started to read the Q&A.

The second question was about the Hunter x Hunter character setting. Before reading the answer, they showed a Togashi's memo containing a detailed timeline of each character that he uses in order to develop the story without creating any contradictions. There's a timeline of the Chimera Ant Arc, and a table of the princes' entourage, allowing Togashi to distinguish them. He even drew characters that didn't appear.

Miyata left his seat and came closer to the monitor, so he could see the memo better. He's a crazy HxH stan just like us.

This material is actually from Jump Ryu's booklet (2016). You can also watch the Jump Ryu video with subs on YouTube, where Togashi explains better how this character table works.

Here's the part of the answer Togashi talks about Killua's inspirations. I am a huge fan of MDP Psycho!

The author of "Toy-y", Atsushi Kamijo, thanked Togashi on his Twitter. He also wrote that he loves Level-E.

When answering question 4, we found out Togashi-sensei watched Sakurazaka46 New Year's special feature in 2021, when Seki-san asked for the complete set of Hunter × Hunter.

But, because Togashi-sensei is such an introvert, he thought he would make her feel uncomfortable by actually sending it. It took him two years to finally decide to send it.

Miyata laughed so hard, saying: "Togashi-sensei is such an otaku!!" (LOL)

Seki-san confirmed Togashi really sent the Hunter × Hunter set to her ^^

The 5th question was about Togashi's favorite nen ability. Seki-san and Miyata also shared their favorite type of nen.

Seki-san loves Killua, thus she likes transmutation. She also likes Hisoka's analysis about nen, and thinks Killua fits his description about transmuters perfectly.

As for Miyata, he loves Kurapika, therefore he likes the conjurer type. He remembered that in order to conjurer chains, Kurapika had to imagine, touch, draw, and even licked real chains.

He was curious if Goreinu, a character that appears in Greed Island, had to do something similar and touch gorillas in order to be able to materialize them.

Miyata is a crazy HxH fan, he came up with many curious tidbits and did a deep analysis of the series. It's not confirmed in the manga or any databook if Goreinu is really a conjurer, but I really liked his point of view.

Question 7 about Meruem's final moments was really touching. After hearing Miyata's explanation about Meruem and Kogumi, Iwakura almost started crying.

Tears rolled down her cheeks when she saw the double spread of Meruem's final moments.

The funny thing is, at the beginning of the show, she told us she had only read the first chapter.

So, Morimoto joked: "Why did you have to stop at volume 1!!?" XD

Morimoto also revealed that Togashi-sensei's favorite scene is Meruem and Kogumi double spread.

Question 8, what does Togashi do on his days off? Morimoto asked Seki-san's opinion. She imagines Togashi having mandarin oranges on a kotatsu table, and talking to cats on the porch.

T/N: Eating oranges while sitting around a kotatsu table is a japanese tradition during the winter.

Togashi didn't mention anything like that in his answer, but there's an interview with Naoko Takeuchi (WITH magazine, May 2022) where she says, "We have been married for over 20 years. Although we have small fights sometimes, my husband is extremely kind and quiet, like a hermit (...) The house we have lived for 20 years is also a place of healing. Sometimes we have meals or tea in the garden". So, I can totally picture Togashi-sensei eating oranges in the winter and talking to cats.

Togashi-sensei stated he is the type of person who always has sound playing while he is working, just like Yoshizumi-san. She was happy she was acknowledged in his letter!

The question 9 was about manga that Togashi-sensei found interesting recently. Miyata remembered that Togashi had wrote a recommendation on the obi of Kimestu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) volume 4, praising the series. I had completely forgotten Togashi loves Demon Slayer!

In his letter, Togashi-sensei wrote he couldn't give the name of the series he's currently into, since he would get criticized. But he left some clues. Yoshimizu said the crazy amount of ッッッ (small tsu) used in his answer was maybe a keyword, and that the fans would probably figure it out. She had no idea what manga he was talking about, though.

Togashi-sensei also wrote this manga is a true story published in 2023. So, many fans came up with the Autobiography of Keisuke Itagaki (author of Grappler Baki): an autobiographical manga depicting the harsh life experienced by Keisuke Itagaki in the "JGSDF 1st Airborne Brigade" that consumed his youth!

I started reading it, and the author really loves to use "ッッッ" at the end of the sentences. I don't think it's the kind of content I would recommend to an idol like Seki-san. Anyway, I don't know whether that's the correct answer or not, but it seems so.

The manga that Togashi-sensei ended up recommending was "Oi! Tombo". It has been serialized in Weekly Golf Digest since 2014. An anime is also scheduled to premiere in 2024. I was happy to see that the Golf Digest X Account mentioned his letter!

Seki-san was introduced to an unexpected golf manga, but she immediately became interested, saying, "I really want to read it'' and "I want to buy it right away.'' I guess we all felt that way. I'm definitely watching the anime!

The 10th question was about the ending! The reaction of the guests and MCs when Morimoto read there's an Ending D in case Togashi-sensei dies was priceless.

Before Morimoto could read the "Ending D", Miyata recalled he went to watch the Hunter × Hunter movie "Phantom Rouge", and received a copy of Volume 0. He grabbed it, and showed the Q&A with Togashi-sensei, highlighting Question 4: What will end up happening to Kurapika and the Phantom Troupe? A: "They will all die."

He was really looking forward to knowing the ending of Hunter × Hunter, but not this one (LOL). Morimoto and Miyata were too nervous, they took a sip to calm down before reading the "Ending D Pattern".

The final question was about the amount of text in volume 37. Miyata commenting that his answer also had an incredible amount of text made me laugh so hard. It was a huge answer indeed.

Togashi's last words were:

"Words are da best!" (Words rule/Nothing can beat words/Only words wins/ whatever sounds better in english).

Everyone laughed so hard, because this is actually a slang used by young people or fandom to say someone or something is the best. He wrote the letter in polite japanese, it was fun he ended it with a slang. By the way, Togashi-sensei loves slang, specially fandom unique vocabulary, as he usually uses it Hunter x Hunter. He's a fan of Keyakizaka46/Sakurazaka46 after all.

Miyata was excited to hear that Togashi-sensei himself is "bugged", which makes him want to continue reading HxH even more. One thing that caught Miyata's attention during this final question was the part Togashi-sensei mentioned he needs to settle many issues during the voyage of the Black Whale ship. Actually, the word "settlement" (解決) captured the attention of many fans, as they posted a lot about that on social media.

Miyata thought about people on board the ship whose fates needs a resolution. He wondered if this was about Kurapika and The Phantom Troupe since the conditions to what Togashi-sensei said in volume 0 (everyone's gonna die) are right there to happen soon.

He showed his Volume 0 again. LOL, I hope Togashi-sensei was just joking.

Of course, let's not forget that are many other unfinished business that needs a solution in this arc, we have a whole succession to the throne war in motion. But, Miyata was really hyped about Kurapika and volume 0.

The show ended with a big thanks and bow to Togashi-sensei!

Miyata said he has been reading HxH for more than 20 years, since he was in elementary school. No matter how old he is, he still gets excited about it! He loves Hunter × Hunter!

Morimoto asked Seki-san to say some final words to Togashi-sensei. Besides showing all her love for Hunter × Hunter, Seki-san was really cute and asked Togashi-sensei to take really good care of his health!

That's it, sorry for being like Togashi-sensei and writing too much. Although my posts are more about Yu Yu Haksuho, I feel I needed to address his letter too. I didn't take the Ending D too serious, since it was discarded. However, I think it was a cute closing to HxH. Like Miyata-said, everything went back to the beginning, The Whale Island where it all started.

I just want Togashi-sensei to live long and write his favorite ending!

There were other interesting parts, like Seki-san telling Togashi-sensei to make a DVD BOX of the TV show. In the end, everyone wanted to make one ^^ (me too). It is a really precious letter. I hope Seki-san frames it and make an altar :P

Thank you very much, Togashi-sensei!

移住した経緯（その捌）

住もうとする地域が先に決まっているなら、その地域の不動産屋を足で巡って物件を探すのも良いだろう。しかし特定の目的に適合する物件を探す場合には対象エリアを少し広げる必要があり、その方法は合理的ではない。一方、不動産情報誌を入手すれば多くの業者から提供された物件が載っており効率的に情報が手に入る。ただし掲載エリアがその地元に限定されることとタイムラグが発生するのが欠点。そう考えると、やはり今の時代はインターネットを使って条件に合った物件を探すのが一番容易かつ合理的で、私もそれをメインの手法とした。まあ田舎では媒体に載らない「隠れ物件」もある程度存在すると思われるが、それらについては地域に深く入り込まないと情報入手できないので、縁がないと潔く諦めて対象外にした。

これまで両手の指の数ほど引越をしてきた私だが、その全てが賃貸物件であり、今回も同様にできれば移住リスクも小さく気がラクだ。しかし残念ながら田舎暮らし物件では賃貸物は少なく、土地を買って家を建てるか中古物件を購入するというのが一般的な流れになる。新築やフルリフォームするとなると費用がかさむが、状態の良い中古物件を購入し多少メンテしながらも住み続けることが出来れば最終的に賃貸より割安になるだろうし、自由度は高いだろう。価格は場所にも依るが、実際1K規模ですぐ住める物件は300万円ぐらいからあるし、500～800万円も用意すればかなり広い物件が買える（相場は記事執筆現在）。逆にあまりにも安いのは訳ありだったり大がかりなリフォームが必要だったりするので覚悟が必要だ。物件自体は優良で魅力的に見えても、周辺環境に難があったり、高額な管理費や共益費、自治会費などが別途必要な場合もあるしね。

また探し始めるとわかるが、田舎暮らし物件と言っても広い土地付き物件は意外と少ない。あってもちょっとした庭とか花壇に使う広さがほとんどで、家庭菜園ましてや自給自足用途を満たすような土地付きは希少だ。さらに注意が必要なのは地目が「畑」や「田」となっていると非農家では取得できないと言うこと。��作放棄地がどんどん広がる中、なんとも皮肉な話だけどね。

本腰を入れて物件探索を始め1ヶ月程すると、設定した条件に見合った物件がいくつか挙がってきた。

まりーごーるど

当地に移住しさまざまな野菜栽培をするようになってしばらくすると、ニンジンや夏野菜に根瘤が多く観られるようになってきた。線虫の仕業だ。それまではまったく意識していなかったのだけど、限られた圃場の中ではどうしても連作が避けられず、次第に特定の病害虫の影響が顕著になり、対策必須な状況となった。

線虫については専用の農薬があり、それを使うのが一番手っ取り早い。実際に被害が酷い場所には緊急処置的にそれを投入しているが、いかんせん値段が高く、無収入の私にはふんだんに購入して散布する財力はないのよね。

そこでマリーゴールドを試してみようとなった。このキク科の植物が分泌する「α－ターチエニール」という物質が土壌の有害線虫に毒性を示すらしい。花は観賞用にもされるから種の入手は容易だし、価格も安い。農薬とは比較にならない程の低コストだ。

個人出品者から他の野菜種と一緒に購入したマリーゴールドの種は混合種だ。初めてで効果の程もよく解らないから、まずは試してみようということで種類に拘わらなかった。春先にポットに播種し、しばらくして発芽、成長して定植をする大きさの頃には早くも花が咲き始めた。

花の色は株によって赤だったり黄色だったりで異なるが、さらに模様のバリエーションもいくつかあるようだ。いずれにしても一重咲きで余り高くならない丈の特徴から「フレンチ種」だと思われる。ちなみにアフリカン種は花がボールのようになり、草丈は1メートル程にもなるらしい。

草体からは独特の匂いがする。花を見るのは好きでもこの匂いを嫌う人は多いようだ。私はどちらかというと好きな匂いなのだが、いかんせんそのパワーが強烈なのよ（笑）。まあ害虫退治にはそれぐらいじゃないとね。

花の寿命はせいぜい１～２週間だが、ドンドン増える脇芽から次々に蕾が出て花が咲くから、株全体の開花期はとても長い。上の写真は12月の状態だが、まだ沢山の花が開花している。この間にも結実した種が地に落ちているので、２年目からはそれなりの量が自然生えしてくる（ポット蒔きと比べると発芽確度は低い）。

さて肝心の防線虫効果について。有害線虫除外成分は根からも分泌されるので、対象野菜と混植するだけで効果があるとされている。そこで初めの年は畝の両端に１～２株ずつ植えて試したが、畝の大きさに対して株が少な過ぎたせいか十分な効果が得られなかった。なので翌年、自然生えした株も使い畝の半分に狭い株間で密に植えてみたのだが、今度は多過ぎて肥料奪われたか混植しているメイン野菜の育ちがイマイチに（苦）。

そんなわけで、次回は程々の量の定植に留めようと反省しているのだが、とりあえず大量に育ったマリーゴールドが目の前にあるので、これを土壌にすき込んでやることにした。剣先スコップで畝に一定間隔で穴を掘り、初冬でもまだ綺麗に開花している草体にやや躊躇しながらも引き千切りその穴に放り込んでいく。

最近流行の微生物資材などを一緒に放り込めば分解は早いだろうけど、それにコストが掛かったら意味がない。初夏に夏野菜を定植するまでにはまだ半年程有るわけだから、何も急ぐ必要ははないのよ。ただ根だけでなく葉や茎、そして花まで全て土壌に入れるから、有害線虫の奴らにはこれまでになく有効な打撃となるだろう。そんなことを考え、ほくそ笑みながら土を被せ埋め、最後にたっぷりと散水した。
