Chisato Takahashi is originally from Tokyo, Japan. She’s a first-year student at KCC with plans to major in marine biology, a field she is passionate about.

Takahashi would like to help protect sea life in the future, but she is still unsure of how she’s going to do that. All she knows is that she’d love to be “out there in the ocean,” she said.

In her free time, the 22-year old enjoys going to the beach, watching sunsets with friends and exploring the island with her host family.
