Claudio Toshio

Where were you born? City: OSASCO – State: São Paulo – Country: Brazil

Who inspires you? Ashton Kutcher, for the story of his life, especially the love for his
twin brother Michael, who suffers from cerebral palsy, and who at one point in his life

was willing to give his life to heal his brother, who also suffers from heart problems .
Another inspiration is the organization he founded called Thorn, which helps find

victims of human trafficking and child pornography, as well as their aggressors.
Relating to my life story, I have an enormous love for my brother who lives in Japan

today and as a young man, I helped him to be in this new life in another country, even in
the face of all the limitations and difficulties in which we lived that time.

What is your hobby? Watch movies with my family! The movies that we love to watch
are Blended (2014) and Enchanted (2007).

What movie can you watch over and over again, and not get tired of it?

The Magnificent Seven

What advice would you give your younger self? I would like to tell my young me to
travel to the US and learn English. That dream I fulfilled when traveling through the
company to the US, It is an opening to the new, it can literally change the way you view

the world.

If you could time travel; where would you go? A place I've never been before, old wild
west, I´m a wildlife enthusiast and outdoor life. And also because of the history of my
family that came from Japan, in a time of hunger and lack of opportunities with nothing,

in search of a better life; in which they went through a lot of struggle and resistance
until they arrived in Brazil. And also for the playful memory that I have when still very

young, saw my family cooking in the open-air garden, usually cooking sukiyaki (a typical
Japanese food).

“Dare to live the life you’ve always wanted.”
