Suda Takuya's fate with Vietnam began in 2007 when he decided to move to the S-shaped land and become a Japanese language teacher.

Suda Yayoi found out she had stomach cancer in 2021, so she and her husband decided to return to Japan. In 2022, Yayoi passed away, her husband was determined to raise the child on his own.
Suda Takuya shared that he did not want to say goodbye to Vietnam, because Vietnam is not only the country he loves, but Vietnam is the country "we" love.
