Meet Mr Chris Brown

By Ikuko ISHII

Christopher Henry Brown, 28, is a new teacher at this school. He likes to be called Chris-sensei. He is from Boston, USA and likes basketball and tennis. His birthday is September 15th. He has a fiancee. I saw her, she is very beautiful. He likes this school and he said, with a smile: "this school is big."

Chris-sensei is half Japanese,but he can't speak Japanese so much, even though mother is Japanese. His Japanese name is Matsushima. He came to Japan because he wanted to play basketball. His brother is a professional basketball player in Nagoya. Chris-sensei's funny basketball story was when he was about 10 years old, he shot into his own team's basket. His message to students who want to be professional sports stars is: "Practice very hard!"
