I conducted research on the topic “Evaluation Methods for Beef Heifer” during my undergraduate and graduate studies.This research uses the FORTRAN programming language to calculate the genetic potential of cows using a computer from the perspective of statistical genetics.I used to visit the library to search for any necessary literature, and it was during this time that I encountered the technique of “information retrieval."I truly realized the convenience and brilliance of a search system that finds relevant literature simply by entering keywords.
I joined Kinokuniya Bookstore, the Japanese distributor for book information retrieval, driven by a desire not only to use the information retrieval system but also to help more people learn about it.Working in Tokyo, New York, Sapporo, and other locations around the world, I developed an international perspective while actively conducting information searches. I gained insights into libraries and led teams as a leader in each location.
Moreover, since childhood, I have not only listened to music but also played instruments and conducted, always staying in touch with music. Based on these experiences, I teach courses in Library and Informatics, Leadership Theory, and Contemporary Music Theory.Through these classes, I hope to support everyone's learning.
