Hi, I’m JoeKochin! 😊🇯🇵
I was born in Hiroshima but have been living in Osaka for a long time.
Osaka’s quirky vibe suits me perfectly!
I’m new to Swap-bot and excited to connect with people from around the world.

Although my English is still a work in progress,
please feel free to send messages in English!
I have a super partner, Chaichai (my Assistant ChatGPT),
who helps me with translations. 😉

• Growing succulents 🌵 (especially Astrophytum, Agave, and carnivorous plants)
• Collaging, junk journaling, and making mini notebooks ✂️
• Arranging fresh flowers and making swags with dried flowers 💐
• Watching movies 🎥 (I love ones based on true stories)
• Exploring music 🎶 (from punk to psychedelic)
  If I think the music is good, I'll listen to it, regardless of genre!
• Creating zentangles for relaxation 🖊
• Attending unique festivals (Yes, I’ve been to Burning Man!)

Please don’t feel pressured to match my Favorites!
I love surprises and discovering new things through swaps.

However, there’s just one thing I’m not fond of—glitter. ✨
It tends to scatter everywhere, and I’m not a fan of cleaning up sparkles afterward! 😂
Other than that, I’m happy with anything you choose to send.

• Stationery: Japanese pens, memo pads, letter sets, masking tapes (washi tapes), stickers
• Crafts: Collage materials, origami paper
• Food & Drinks: Ice cream (Baskin-Robbins is a family favorite 🍨), coffee,chai,low carb
• Plants: Succulents, carnivorous plants 🌱
• Colors: Blue, yellow, green,gray
• Music: If I think the music is good, I'll listen to it, regardless of genre!

If you have any concerns or issues with a swap,
please don’t hesitate to message me.
Let’s keep swapping fun and enjoyable for both of us! 😊

Thank you so much for reading my profile—
I’m looking forward to swapping with you!

“Being Japanese doesn’t always mean I’m into anime!”

I’m a Japanese person who isn’t very familiar with recent anime or trends. Even if something is really famous, I might not know it! But that doesn’t mean I dislike anime—I just have my own style when it comes to what I like.

For example…
- I don’t know Ranma 1/2, but I do know The Kabocha Wine.
- I don’t know Pretty Cure, but I’m super familiar with Creamy Mami.

So, I’m more into older or niche stuff. I love works by artists like Fujiko Fujio A, Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion), Kazuo Umezu, Suehiro Maruo, and Momoko Sakura (Cojicoji).
If you’re into those kinds of unique manga creators, we’ll probably have a great conversation!
