"Ogi-sensei helped build my initial impression of Kaisei Gakuin High School before I ever knew there was even a possibility of my teaching there. One of the first things I did upon arrival in Japan was attend a speech contest at the school that Collin was judging. I fell in love with the character and atmosphere of the school immediately -- and a lot of that was thanks to Ogiya-sensei who laughed with us, showed -- and attempted to teach -- us his powerful horse stance, and gave me my first glimmer at the true meaning of 'kakoi.' As I got to know Ogi-sensei better, I saw new facets of his personality and being come to light -- regardless of, or perhaps helped along by, the language barrier. Ogiya-sensei is a strong warrior, dedicated teacher, and compassionate person. I am happy to know him." -- Diana
