He is passionate about nurturing children's curiosity and exploration through insects, teaching the joy of learning, and making children love studying through insects as an entry point.

【Message from Fabre sensei】 ● Learning about insects means learning about the Earth. Cultivate curiosity and exploration. Insects, which are close to us, are said to account for about 2/3 of all living species on Earth. With so many species, they have a deep connection with the global environment. Therefore, studying insects thoroughly leads to understanding the Earth itself. We want to learn together with students about insects and the Earth, which hold infinite charm that stimulates intellectual curiosity, and support children's curiosity and exploration.
