I am working with Professor Hiroki Ueda of The University of Tokyo School of Medicine and Professor Masaru Sugiyama, Faculty of Science, The University of Tokyo on a research project on disease mechanisms of mental disorders in general. We are conducting our research using very new methods (details undisclosed). 

I was awarded a research grant from the University of Tokyo and the Toyota Mobility Fund for this research activity, which is funded for about three years.

I have been working with Professor Hiromitsu Miyata of the Graduate School of Letters, Waseda University, on the effects of mindfulness practice combined with virtual reality and binaural beats on obsessive-compulsive disorder tendencies.

This research is also regularly advised by Mr. Tsubasa Sasaki of Chiba University.

Professor Hiromitsu Miyata and I received the Best Presenter Award in the Student Research Presentation at the 88th Annual Convention of the Japanese Psychological Association for this research.

I was awarded a research grant from IHRP for this research activity.

With the help of the Suetsugu Laboratory at Rikkyo University, my friends and I researched natto kinase. We conducted synthetic biology wet/dry research, experimental classes throughout Japan, and interviews with many researchers and companies. 

We obtained research grants from about 10 companies totaling about 2 million yen ($15,000) and crowdfunding for 800,000 yen ($6,000).

We gave poster and oral presentations at the 47th Annual Convention of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan.

I will be developing the mental health business entrusted to me by DeNA Chairman Tomoko Namba. Please look forward to it!

I am collaborating with Professor Hiromitsu Miyata of the Graduate School of Letters, Waseda University and Mr. Tsubasa Sasaki of Chiba University on a review paper on the history of mindfulness and OCD. 

We were awarded 50,000 yen ($400) for our research activities.

I am conducting research on wellbeing and entrepreneurial loneliness with Mr. Tsubasa Sasaki of Chiba University and Mr. Hayase Hakariya of Universität Tübingen.

We were awarded 50,000 yen ($400) for our research activities.

Asuka Hatano, my friend at Minerva University and I are considering a project to make a big impact in the world of mental health. Stay tuned!

My friends and I created “StudyPet”, an AI app for learning aids, at “Launch III”, a global hackathon. The app won an award for excellence.

I built a pneumonia detection system using machine learning with PhD students at MIT and Stanford University.

We are hosting a major hackathon, ‘Demoday’, designed for Japanese student founders, with the goal of bringing student founders from around the world to Japan and providing Japanese students with a global stage.

We welcome the participation of venture capitalists and startups.

The first Demoday will be held in March 2025 at Digital Garage Akiya.

My friends and I are doing research on natto kinase (synthetic biology) and have raised 800,000 yen ($6,000) through crowdfunding to fund our research.

I hosted an information session about Stanford e-Japan, Stanford University's high school student program. I invited several scholars of the program as guest speakers, and dozens of people attended the event.

okke is a complete learning application for Japanese high school students. It includes a vocabulary book, lecture videos, articles, etc. I have handed out free-per-papers to schools and other institutions as publicity for this app.
