Seeking Different Points of View

Leo Sakaguchi likes non-mainstream things. One of the few thousand native Esperanto speakers in the world, he DJs internationally, ice skates on a professional level, and advocates for greater renewable energy adoption. 

We discussed: 

• How Leo’s Japanese dad and Polish mom met, and their marriage on the seventh date
• Growing up speaking multiple languages and not realizing how unusual that was  
• Being an outlier in a small Bavarian village 
• Student life at Tokyo University 
• Multicultural DJing techniques
• Meeting another Polish-Japanese DJ who grew up in Germany and is also named Leo 
• Working at a Japanese conglomerate in Germany
• Leo’s startup 
• What links miso, żurek, and German beer
