Ryota Yashima a.k.a. Yassie (b.
Saitama City, Saitama,
Japan. I am currently working in an IT company (ERP package vendor), since November 2011, after recovering from
Major depressive disorder. I used to work in non-Japan(mostly U.S.)-based companies for 9 years, and have experience in English-using clerical, data analysis with
Microsoft Excel and some programming with VBA (
Visual Basic for Applications). I earned B.A. degree from
International Christian University in March 2000. I also lived in
Columbus, Ohio to study business at
Ohio State University. I have been to most states east of the
Mississippi River mainly by
Greyhound bus, which makes me good at writing about American cities on
Japanese Wikipedia. Also, I have some knowledge about American
popular culture. In 2019, I got into committed relationship with a
Kenyan woman (eventually got married in January 2020), and began learning
Swahili language.
My favorite things:
- City: Columbus, Ohio.
- Sports Team: Ohio State Buckeyes.
- Cuisine: Cajun - especially Blackened Catfish.
- Movies: too many, but if I pick one, Ray.
- Singers: include Jewel, Natalie Imbruglia, Sheryl Crow, Michelle Branch, Paula Terry (my close friend).
- Women of My Type: Meg Ryan, Alexis Bledel, Amanda Seyfried, Barbara Palvin, Saoirse Ronan - I'm a blue-eye fetish. ;)
- Technical Document: The Zen of Python
