Born in the Jinaimachi area of Tondabayashi City, Osaka, I grew up amid the connections between people and the historical townscape. While in school, I devoted myself to kendo and ice hockey, where I learned the importance of psychological strength and teamwork. At university, I studied the relationship between the environment and architecture. Since then, I have tried to improve the comfort and environmental performance of buildings through facility design. I value trust above all else, and strive to advance our design teams and foster the next generation with quality technology and integrity.

How I spend my private time
Because of my assignment, I live and work in a different city than my family. I have made it a habit to make lunch for myself every day, and whatever valuable time I get with my family, I cherish. On weekends and holidays, I ride my road bicycle, go hiking, jog, and do other activities to keep my body and mind in shape, and I often get new ideas while interfacing with nature. Traveling is another of my hobbies, and I enjoy doing things with a backpack in hand. I even toured the ruins of Angkor Wat on a simple city bike. I approach each day deliberately and with a curious mind, and strive to apply my ample sensitivities to design and team-building.
