He lived a life of poverty. He was able to eat and sleep under a shelter, but ended with having no possession at all. He lived as an outcast. To tell the truth, in Asa Koma, he gained the trust or the friendship of no one. He had only a basic knowledge that summed up to a few oral stories from childhood. He was strong, beautiful, and long lived. He was a determined one, living an independant way of life.
