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.

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.

The tenacious character I've possessed since I was a small child propelled me to successfully meet this challenge, and I was able to safely gain acceptance to the university of my choice.

In 1978, I entered Tohoku University, into the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Technology.

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

I suppose the reason I chose electrical engineering was because I had always been interested in electricity, involving myself in such projects as building radios from the time I was a child.

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