"I have observed politics since I was young, for I was born into a family of Japanese bureaucrats, diplomats, and policymakers, and this is why I have been to over twenty countries.While my 11th grade period in Tokyo, I decided to go a study abroad, and I spent a year in a Nebraska high school. That high school exchange experience made me to pursue a career in the US, so I attended a community college in California, and transferred to University of California Berkeley. Particularly, I was studying and researching under prof. Steven Vogel, one of the most notable scholars studying US-Japan politics and economy.

After the graduation from Berkeley, I worked at two think-tanks, Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA and Japan Center for International Finance in Washington, DC.
I came back to Tokyo in the last September, and now I am currently working as a private secretary for Mr. Motohisa Furukawa, the member of the House of Representatives of Japan. "
