Aoi Notoya, a forward from Kokoku High School's soccer team who represented Osaka Prefecture in last year's National High School Soccer Championship, entered Nippon Medical School's School of Medicine's Department of Medicine this spring. He studied at Kokoku High School's Athlete Advanced Course, which aims to ``master both literary and military arts,'' and balances studies and sports. After two years of living as a ronin, he was accepted into the university of his choice and took a new step forward.
