Koivumaa, who was born in a small town in southern finland, moved to
Helsinki when he was three, and grew up there. He graduated from Helsinki
University after studying political science, Japanese politics and modern
Japanese history. During the course of his 10 years spent studying at
university, he came to Japan to study at Waseda University for a year in
2003. "I found interest in Japan since 1 was around 10 years old. 1 can't
remember exactly what it was, but it may have been chambara (samurai action
drama) or anime," Koivumaa said. After working for a media service unit in
Helsinki, he applied for an available position at the Finnish Embassy, and came
Lia fomily in November 2010.
