I have been making robots for over 10 years, having started when I was nine years old. As a third-year in high school, I was selected for the Forbes Japan “30 Under 30” list. This led me to rethink what it meant to “change the world,” and I took a one-year gap year to work at Leave a Nest Co., Ltd., to figure out my interpretation of what this meant. I currently study at the Stevens Institute of Technology in the U.S., while also working as president and CEO of ADvance Lab Co., Ltd., which I founded in June 2024. Moving forward, I will continue to make efforts in both research and business, with the intention of “communicating with the planet.”
