Shige Is "Watchman" To His Korean Friends

In his latest "photoshigenic" Kato Shigeaki wrote about his recent trip to Korea and why his Korean friends started to call him "watchman".

Recently Shige and two friends went to Korea. Because his companions both already had friends there, he was introduced to many people.
Shige introduced himself by saying "Hi, I'm Shige" and in response a Korean told him that "shige" means "watch" in his language. So in the end everybody started to call him "watchman"; "Watchman, have some kimchi!", "Watchman aren't you cold?" etc.
But Shige actually liked it, since in his opinion it sounds like the name of a super hero.
