Kazuki stated that he would be very prompt when meeting with friends and that he would wear flip-flops outdoors due to the hot temperature. However, the interior air conditioning is often very powerful when dining or sipping coffee outside, so Kazuki would also take a jacket. After residing in Taiwan for a while, the Japanese custom of making dumplings as a side dish frequently evolves into a staple meal.

When it rains and Kazuki has forgotten his umbrella, he claimed he would go to the convenience stores to get one. He is likewise accustomed to standing on the right side when using the escalator. He will abruptly take up the phone when speaking with pals, or he may converse on the phone while riding the MRT, but he must still speak quietly to avoid disturbing other commuters.

It is also quite convenient to rent or ride a motorcycle in Taipei, and Kazuki has started to become used to having his own shopping bags with him when he goes shopping. According to Kazuki, because Taiwan's climate is more humid than Japan's is, he uses the dehumidifier at home and keep one in the closet.
