Utilizing the experience and knowledge of people who are familiar with each occupation, it is a documentary program that records the efforts and connections with the region.

In street interviews, mainly in their 30s and 40s, when asked about the image of the work of a school janitor, most of the people answered that it was "simple cleaning" or "I don't know what they are doing".

And this time, we closely covered Toshinori Morita, a school janitor who works at an integrated elementary and junior high school in Okayama City.

The actual situation is not limited to environmental maintenance and environmental beautification, but there was a figure of a janitor who values ties with the community as the first priority for the safety and security of children and students.
