Graduated from Osaka University, Faculty of Economics. After retiring from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, I was a founding member of a crypto-asset related startup and engaged in industry research and market analysis. In 2018, I joined Monex Group. At Monex Cryptobank, I authored the industry research reports "Blockchain Trends in China (2020)" and "Blockchain Data Book 2020" and currently oversees the web3 newsletter and research report "MCB RESEARCH".
