Born in Hiyoshicho, Nagata-ku, Kobe, Hyogo.

My family home was completely destroyed in the Great Hanshin–Awaji Earthquake when I was two, and I was raised in Osaka.

​

Having achieved most of the personal goals I set while working internationally, I’m now focused on contributing my knowledge, experience, and skills to my hometown of Kobe and to Japan.
