Let Me Introduce Myself Pt. 1/3

This is my first post on italki. Let me talk about myself, then. <em>(Let me introduce myself then.)</em>

I was born and raised in Utsunomiya which is a governmental hub for Tochigi prefecture. Speaking of Tochigi, you might imagine Nikko because of world heritage sites like Toshogu, while Utsunomiya is not in the least popular, I assume. Utsunomiya, in fact, is famous for producing the most consumed gyoza in Japan, and I'm pretty sure it is more delicious than what any other cities have. It's not an exaggeration.

Well, I spent my childhood in the city until I graduated from high school. When I was a child, I didn't like playing sports, reading books, or studying anything. I was only keen on video games, to the point that my classmates sometimes called me an 'otaku' (that is a person who has obsessive interest in something). Otaku culture, nowadays, has relatively been accepted domestically thanks to international trends, but that wasn't the case at the time, so I wasn't very accepted. <em>(You could also say "thanks to otaku culture spreading internationally.")</em>

After graduating from high school, I went to university, moving to Tokyo. Now, I said Tokyo, but that's not exactly true. The place where I moved to was in Kanagawa, which is not in Tokyo but is close to it. <em>(The outskirts of Tokyo, perhaps?)</em> As for the university itself, it was not in Tokyo either, but rather in Kanagawa, which has another campus in Tokyo. This was somewhat unacceptable for me because 'Tokyo life' was what I longed for. In university, I studied international economics.
