He grew up in Davon, a small town in southeastern England. His family is not so religious. "I grew up on the outskirts of Davon, where my father is a Japanese, a completely different ethnicity with the conditions in the village," he said.
Entering high school, Hana Tajima is friends with people from various backgrounds. He had fallen into promiscuity. His friends are fans of hip-hop underground, drinking liquor, and other life spree-spree.
In college, he was friends with a number of Muslims. This is where he feels weird. Why his Muslim friends did not want to be invited to the club. "I think it's surprising, how can you not want to get out at a time like this," said Hana Tajima.
Since then he began to study philosophy. He began to be confused with his life at the time. At that time, Hana Tajima is really a popular teenager. Have a boyfriend, lots of friends, and all the fun. "But I still feel whether it should be like that?"
That strange feeling kept coming. Day and night. So he tried to read many books about religion. Learn a lot of friends and background. "There is something that attracts me to Islam," he said.
He began to impress with the Qur'an. Hana Tajima found many issues, ranging from women's rights and contemporary life arranged in the book of the Muslims. "The more I read, the more I agree with the Qur'an and I can see why Islam really affects the lives of my Muslim friends."
However, Hana Tajima has not yet converted to Islam. "But there is a point where I can not say that I am not a Muslim," he said. Since then Hana Tajima converted to Islam. When the events of nine years ago, he was only seventeen.
Since then, he has made a shahada. Declare themselves as Muslims. About the family, this Japanese-English blaster does not bother. Because, he thought, his family would be happy if he was happy.
"And they can see that this is something really positive," he said. However, various responses came from his friends. There are also many regrets who give support.
Enter Islam, there are new things that make him confused. About fashion. He was frustrated how to dress as a Muslim. While before embracing Islam, he was used to dressed in Western style.
It was in the midst of frustration that his brain was turning. His creative soul appeared. He made Western fashion as an inspiration to create Muslim hijab clothes. Since then he founded his own fashion house.
