PROFILE
Born in 1976. Worked in sales and planning at the select store Nepenthes. After leaving the company, he became a designer for "hobo" in 2005. He designs a variety of products each season, including bags, accessories, and footwear.
The Kangoo is a car that is as safe to drive as it looks.
Thanks to the rainy season lasting longer than usual, many people feel that summer was short this summer. Even so, the heat is still intense, and although the calendar says that mid-autumn has already arrived, there are still hints of summer in the sunlight. One day in September, a man got into a Renault Kangoo.
The passenger was Hideki Asakura, a designer from "Hobo," a company that releases products that combine high functionality with attractive design. With the Kangoo loaded with luggage, we headed to Lake Nishiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, for a camping and sipping trip.
I have tried climbing and trekking since I was a kid, and I also like skiing and snowboarding in the winter, so I try all kinds of outdoor activities. I also enjoy camping and sipping as part of my outdoor activities. I simply love playing outside and being physically active.
Mr. Asakura told us this as he gripped the steering wheel on the way to his destination. A car is indispensable when you are going from the city to the nature with a lot of tools. As he drove the Kangoo, he told us about its comfort.
It is a car that is very gentle to drive. In a good sense, it's a car that doesn't move forward. When you step on the accelerator pedal, it doesn't move forward suddenly, but rather slowly and gradually. It is a car that can carry a lot of stuff, so the feeling of moving forward slowly like that is just right. It has no quirks, and anyone can drive it with ease. The design of the Kangoo is also good. It looks cute, and I think it's a safe car that lives up to its looks.
When visiting Europe on business, Mr. Asakura continues, "I often saw Renault cars.
I have the impression that the Kangoo is a car that carries a lot of luggage. People in Europe were also carrying a lot of luggage. I even saw a man working in the construction industry carrying a stepladder with a roof carrier attached to the ceiling. Also, the high ceiling of the car makes it easy to carry tall loads, and the driver can look down at the road from a higher vantage point, which gives him a wider field of vision and makes it easier to drive.
