His love of ninjas brought him to Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. Takamasa Fukushima appears in ninja costume at any event in the city to support the municipal government's ninja-focused community development efforts. "Iga City, Mie Prefecture, has been promoting ninja for 60 years through its castle, but Koka's ninja campaign began only 10 years ago. Someday, I would like to make this movement more exciting than that in Iga," he said enthusiastically.
