Tom Mori's childhood sounds like a nail-biting, action-packed thriller. When he was only a few years old, he and his mom ran away from his dad, who was a former gang member, and lived in small towns around Fukuyama. This was just the start of his journey that spanned two continents and involved learning Scouse.

We discussed: 

  • Tom's ex-yakuza dad
  • Leaving his mom to move to Poland at the age of 10 
  • Reuniting with his mom in the Czech Republic 
  • The cultural shock Tom experienced when moving to Liverpool 
  • Tom’s work as an architect
  • Frustrations around Japanese citizenship rules
