Man without a plan: I was born just outside Tokyo in 1987, but mostly grew up in England, as my dad (pioneering motorsports photographer Joe Honda) wanted a European base for his work. I m an only child, and from the age of three we lived in Eastbourne, on the south coast. My dad was away a lot, especially during the racing season, so my mum, Michiko Kamishima, looked after me but she also helped him with translation and coordination.
