Fashion
Growing up in Japan with the twin loves of baseball and fashion, an injury forced the young Katsuki to trade his cap and uniform for an entirely new wardrobe. After earning his Canadian Fashion Design diploma, Katsuki returned to Japan and was quickly hired to work for a leading fashion magazine publishing company, Hinode. Now, Katsuki has taken on the role as the Japanese Region Branding Director for iconic label Katharine Hamnett London!
