Fuki came to Halifax in 2019 from Nagoya, Aichi. She believes cultural connections and activities for locals and Japanese people make the community more vibrant and strong. Since she first came to Halifax, Fuki has found that the Japanese Society at Dalhousie University was a very important place to stay connected to Japanese culture. At present, she remains passionate about sharing that feeling with the broader community.

Chihiro grew up in Nagoya, Japan and moved to Halifax to attend university in 2021. She is passionate about creating inclusive and supportive community where people can embrace shared identities and experiences. Through various events and activities, Chihiro hopes to strengthen community connections and create opportunities for people in Halifax to appreciate Japanese culture. 

Kikuno works as a freelance artist originally from British Columbia, Canada. Her interest in working with the Halifax Japanese Culture Collective stems from her Japanese-Canadian heritage and wanting to create a space where people can learn about – and reconnect with their roots through education, cultural experience, and community.
