Ethan Ninomiya │ Staff Profile

I’m in charge of museum tours and educational programs.

My goal is to make sure that people of all ages learn about the history of Silent Hill in a fun and accurate way.

Since I’m a third-generation Japanese-American, I also have a strong interest in Japanese culture.

Back in college, I studied education so I could be a teacher.

Even though I ended up here instead, I’m glad the things I learned are still coming in handy.

 

 

 

 

 

We did a complete overhaul of the exhibits today. It was a lot of work, but we made it through. Here’s a photo to commemorate!

 

 

 

 

Felix and I went to the same high school.
We were in different grades, but we often chat about the teachers and the graffiti on the school walls.

 

 

 

 

 

My grandfather was born in Tochigi Prefecture in Japan. I’d love to visit the Nikko Toshogu shrine someday.

 

 

 

 

Here’s a photo I took while studying abroad in Japan. I visited Kyoto and Nara.

 

 

 

 

 

In Japan, there’s something called "ema"—wooden plaques where you write your wishes and offer them to the gods.

Ema literally means “picture horse” in Japanese. Wonder where the horse comes from?

 

 

 

 

 

We stopped by our old high school the other day. So many memories came flooding back.

 

 

 

I wanted to be a teacher so I could share my love of history with others.
Even now, I’m always thinking about how to make learning about history more engaging for the people who visit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m still studying education to make sure my explanations are always clear and easy to understand.
