Features: He believes in the "half-half philosophy," "To see through half of this mortal life, there is boundless enjoyment in half. Half a cup of wine is just right, half a blooming flower is more beautiful. Half sails set prevent capsizing, half a rein makes riding steady. Half less is more flavorful, half more is tiresome. Half of life's joys and sorrows intertwine, only half seeks advantage." He hopes to realize his "personal dream": "Put on casual clothes, take a fishing rod, go to a utopia, temporarily become a descendant of the Getai people."
