Homeless Junior High School Student

Tamura Hiroshi, a popular super comedian in Japan. Born on September 3, 1979, in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture. In October 1999, he formed the super popular comedy duo “Kirin” with Akira Kawashima. In 2002, he won the Excellent Newcomer Award at the 23rd ABC Comedy Newcomer Championship Finals. 《Homeless Junior High School Student》 is his first published work. On the eve of the summer vacation of his first year junior high, Tamura Hiroshi’s father suddenly announced the family’s “dissolution,” leaving the three siblings to fend for themselves. Tamura Hiroshi, trying to be strong, wandered alone in the park, gnawing on cardboard boxes, competing for food with pigeons, snatching slides from children, and picking up forgotten money from under vending machines, nearly making a mistake due to hunger. Fortunately, he received help from the warm-hearted parents of a classmate, who rented a house for the three siblings to live together. The three siblings lived up to expectations, and while relying on government subsidies, they lived frugally, encouraged each other, persevered, worked hard to complete their studies, and eventually found their own suitable paths.
