Dear Esteemed Subscribers,

Get ready for an enthralling two-part series as we delve into Mark Colby's captivating life story from the comfort of his Chiba home, aptly named "The Frogs’ Gate."

In part one of this special episode, we embark on a journey through Mark's formative years, filled with unique experiences and remarkable encounters. From his distinctive grade school days in a "special" school, where lifelong friendships with Blake and Gordon were forged, to the spark of passion for judo ignited at the tender age of 10.

Mark's annual summer trips to Japan, the Mecca of judo, from 1978 to 1988, served as the backdrop for his profound connection to the country and its culture. Despite initially aspiring to become a veterinarian, Mark's path took a different turn towards studying dentistry, eventually leading to a prestigious position in dental diagnostics with Abbott Laboratories.

1988 Mark's journey brought him to Tokyo as the marketing manager for clinical chemistry analysis at Abbott Laboratories, marking the beginning of a new chapter filled with challenges and triumphs.
