Ota Michiyō's maiden name is Chiyo Tsuru, and at the age of fifteen, the teenager's Michizumi is considered a talent by the world, and the story of his childhood is still circulated. His father, Ota Shigeyoshi, was worried that Tsuru chiyo would be too clever from an early age, and that he would be mistaken for being smart in the future, so he taught him: "If people are too smart, they will become hypocritical and will cause disasters." For example, the sliding door is only useful when it is upright, and if it is bent, it will break", Tsuru Chiyo pointed to the screen and retorted: "If the screen is upright, it will fall, and it will be useful if it is bent." Ota Washu was dumbfounded by the rebuttal.
