   In the quiet farming village of Akantare, nestled amidst the rolling hills outside Kyoto, young Koji’s days began much like any other. The first rays of the sun would creep over the horizon, painting the sky with hues of pink and gold as he emerged from his family’s modest farmhouse. From the moment he could walk, Koji was immersed in the rhythm of rural life, his footsteps echoing the timeless cadence of the fields.

   Raised amidst the verdant valleys of Akantare, Koji’s family had built their livelihood around dairy farming. Each morning, the air would be filled with the lowing of cows and the sweet scent of freshly cut hay. His parents worked tirelessly to tend to their herd, their days filled with the steady routine of milking, feeding, and caring for their animals. And from the fruits of their labor emerged a prized treasure: farmhouse cheddar renowned throughout the region for its rich flavor and creamy texture.

   But despite the comfort and familiarity of his surroundings, Koji felt a restless stirring within him. As he gazed out over the lush landscape that stretched before him, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to life than the confines of Akantare. While his family found contentment in their traditions and the predictable rhythms of rural life, Koji’s spirit yearned for adventure, for the thrill of the unknown.

   It was during one of his solitary walks through the fields that Koji stumbled upon an unexpected companion: Nigel, a talking helicopter whose arrival seemed to defy all logic. With his sleek, metallic exterior and a personality as vibrant as his bright red paint, Nigel quickly became Koji’s confidant and co-conspirator in his quest for something greater. Together, they dreamed of soaring high above the valleys of Akantare, exploring distant lands and uncovering the mysteries of the world beyond.

3. Usually it’s the dialect of the people that live there, unless they are nefarious interlopers there to pollute and destroy the eternal harmony of the grossly orientalised and pathetically pastoralised locales.
