Here is Dad Toshi...


As the pillar of the home, he is a kind, loving,
compassionate husband and a gentle, nurturing father. He is
a good provider to his family and basically a home loving
person. He was born in Nagasaki City, Nagasaki Prefecture.
At the age of two, his family relocated to Aichi Prefecture
and settled in Nagoya City. It is there where he was raised
and educated. He graduated from Chubu Kougyo University with a B.S. degree major  in Mechanical Engineering. He
moved to Tokyo on 1990 and is now working at the NASA - affiliated agency, the ERSDAC (Earth Remote Sensing Data Analysis Center). He has a passion for computers, and a sports enthusiast too. He likes mountain climbing, playing base ball, tennis, bowling, skating, and skiing. He used to be a car racer. He is a F1 avid fan. He also used to travel a lot. He had travelled extensively in the US and Asia.


Mom Edna....

Actually, she's not really comfortable to be called the light of the home since she's not good in homemaking stuff. She's one of those who are not at their best when it comes to being in the kitchen. Despite of this, she sees to it that there's always a hot meal on the table for her family. She is a hard-headed, hot-tempered, irrepressible and independent woman. She is just lucky to have a husband who understands her shortcomings and loves her just the same. She has a warm personality though - the type of person who can easily make friends. Her husband has been telling her that she is a loving, dutiful wife and a doting, over protected mother. She hails from Iligan City, Philippines. She graduated from Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology with a Bachelor's degree. Linguistics is her chosen field of specialization. She used to work as a college instructor but at the present, she is just a full-time housewife and a stay-at-home mom. She loves to watch "Larry King Live" and "Hard Talk". She's a movie buff and a real junkie for printed word.

In spite of their somewhat opposite natures, Dad and Mom get along pretty well with each other. They believe the saying "opposite poles attract" is not a cliche after all. They share a whole ocean of understanding and truly comfortable and contented with each other's company. They both thrive in the secure bonds of a stable union and share the same top priority--their daughter.


And here is the little princess of the Onoue hosehold--Tomo!

She is completely adored by her Dad and Mom. She is their love, life, pride, joy and inspiration. This vibrant and bubbly little girl never ceases to amuse her Dad and Mom with her numerous funny antics. She came into this world on a Friday, May 22, 1998 at 4:17 PM in Tokyo Medical Center. She was such a tiny bundle of joy who only weighed 2,675 grams and measured 48.8 cm. tall. But when her parents look at her now they can't almost believe their eyes; she seems to be growing fast. She stands 110 cm and weighs 17 kg. She's now into Japanese Anime and Origami. Sailor Moon, Doremi, Judo Girl, and Powerpuff Girls, specially Blossom, are among her favorite. Dexter's Lab and Pinky and The Brain fascinate her as well. She  likes to tinker her computer and assemble  jigsaw puzzles. She also enjoys playing her dad's collection of radio-controlled toy cars. She's into digital photography too. As of late, she  spends  most of her free time having fun with her adorable Robot named Pino -- who sulks and nags if she doesn't play with him. She also finds time to feed and talk to her seven beautiful goldfish and a cute Sapphire Blue hamster. Even in this most tender stage of her life, she has already shown interest in entertaining people. She wants to sing, dance, and perform some hilarious tricks. She can play the harmonica, pianica, and the piano. Tomo is now in her third and final year of  kindergarten schooling.

 
The Onoues are presently residing in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo.
