Favorite quote: “It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.”

Bio :Sotaro at the age of 3 studied the English language, from Elementary to High School he attended DODEA in Japan. Upon his High School graduation he attended Portland State with the vision of majoring in Business Management, after being there for 2 1/2 years, he decided to change course and transferred to the University of Hawaii at Manoa with the major of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science. Sotaro came to realization that fitness was his passion and motivation in life from an influence in his first year of college. That is where he truly learned the meaning of fitness and what it encompasses. Sotaro during his college years received his certification as a Personal Trainer and a Fitness Nutritionist. He has experience personal training both male and female clients in all age ranges along with those who have had past or current injuries. He enjoys helping people reach their goals whether it be fitness related or education related. Seeing people’s happiness is what makes him happy. He is currently a Certified Personal Trainer, Fitness Nutritionist, and an Exercise Therapist by ISSA. Sotaro at Sesame is not only the General Manager but also the instructor for our Parents English program “Awesome English” as well as the Program Coordinator for the exercise program “Fit Kids.” He enjoys seeing the smile on the kids faces everyday and watching them grow into young adults for the future which is what brought him back to Sesame and gives him the “strength” to face each day. He looks forward to what the future brings for each and every kid at Sesame.
