Biography

Value People’s Lives

I have studied the origin of life in the United States. By making use of my experience, I have engaged in the development of new medicines for incurable diseases in Japan.

During that period, I have also participated in a movement against the Iraq War when I had time to spare from my work.

What is consistent in my mind is to value people’s lives. My political activities are based upon that belief.

I would like to create a society in which each person plays a leading role to make the world go round. This is what I truly wish.
