Naoki Hoshino

Based in Tokyo, I was born and raised in a small town in western Kanagawa and spent my student years in Yokohama. For nearly twenty years, I worked in the chemical industry, specialising in business development and marketing. After leaving my job due to mental health difficulties, I took several years to rest and recover. I am now beginning a new chapter of my life through this blog, Thom and Jina: The Record of a Former Corporate Employee Who Chose Again — Between Work, Family, and Responsibility, where I document my path towards healing. My interests include reading and listening to music. https://x.com/thomandjina
