Ritsuki Komura (7), from Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, has a rare disease called albinism, in which he is born with a low amount of melanin pigment, which gives color to his skin and hair. There is currently no cure, and his mother wondered, "Will this child survive...?" It was social media that helped them escape this darkness. We interviewed Ritsuki and his family, who are moving forward, embracing their differences in appearance as their "individuality."
