    Kenzo lives in a typical small Japanese home in Osaka with his family. The home has two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a separate bathroom and toilet room. In the living room they have tatami mats on the floor and a small table without chairs to eat, instead sitting on floor cushions. The kitchen has a sink, fridge, cupboards, a gas stove with two rings, a rice cooker, and a microwave but no oven like most Japanese homes. Kenzo's small bedroom only has a futon mattress on the floor for sleeping along with a TV and computer.
