The Faculty of Technology of Tohoku University is renowned for its tradition of practical studies.

From my father, I learned the importance of working sincerely at things to which I had committed myself, and to persevere untiringly even in the face of little progress.

When it came time to find employment, I set my sights on becoming an engineer at a home electronics manufacturer, a field that was closely related to my major at university.

However, the occasional visit of success provides just the excitement an engineer needs to face work the following day.

I cannot say that I was a particularly diligent student, especially during the lower grades.

Upon receiving my notification of acceptance to the university, my parents noticed that they were obliged to submit to the university, among other things, a copy of my official family register. After much mental anguish, they decided to inform me of the secret of my birth.
