2018 Studied machine learning in the Machine Learning by Stanford University course
2019 Was named Number 3 at the Teens Apps Awards for a “smartphone while walking” app equipped with an AI function to detect hazards

2020 Founded Yellston, an AI speech synthesis startup
2021 Planned and developed CoeFont STUDIO/Cloud, based on the concept of “Making it possible to use voices just like fonts”

Recently, I am hoping to use AI speech synthesis to enable people to use voices just like fonts. I want to make it possible to do so easily and at low costs, and to make them available where they were previously lacking.
I hope to apply this technology to create an era in which everyone can speak English and Chinese.

My vision is to make it my life work to create exciting products that conquer Japan and the world, while bringing together advanced technologies and generating innovations.
