Born in Shikoku (Kagawa Prefecture), I came to Tohoku via Kansai and Kanto. My studies have been conducted in a variety of environments, including oceans, lakes, hot springs, underground, and rice paddies. At Tohoku University, I would like to enjoy research on soil microorganisms. Beer and coffee lover.
