Elevator Captain
Elevator Captain is defined as 'The first person in an elevator in Japan'
Elevators have always greatly fascinated me since my early days. I began filming elevators for YouTube in 2017 but i never uploaded a video until 2020. I absolutely love vintage old elevator systems such as OTIS Autotronic and old manual elevators and I really hate when elevators get ruined with a modernization.
Beyond that i like public transportation, even if it is trains, busses. I am also inspired by architecture, urbex & aviation. I plan to make elevator engineering a career in the future.
