I can't say that I always knew I'd be a planetary scientist, but being full of wonder from a child, I got the chance to be engaged in academic activities.

I did my bachelor's degree and master's degree in science at the University of Tokyo and then decided planetary science would give me a chance to pursue the "Planet and Life" -type problem I have really been curious about. And then, I got a PhD at the University of Tokyo on 2008.

Now, I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at the epartment of Earth and Planetary Sciences Tokyo Institute of Technology.
