Affective Laboratory

Associate Professor, Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, Tokyo Institute of Technology

Born in Chiba, Japan, in 1964.

All lab members are suffering from this hot-tempered, self-centered, and try-to-look-cool guy.

Started Affective Laboratory in 2008.

My cherished mottos

"The best way to predict the future is to create it."

Based on the very famous phrase of Alan Kay. Probably "to invent" is too much for me, but I may be able to "create"...

"When looking up, your eyes are always shining."

This is my original.

When you are looking upwards physically, your eyes are usually shining reflecting the lights (often coming from above) .

When you are working hard for your own high goals, your eyes are also shining, reflecting both your internal energy and rays from the higher place yet to achieve.

Four things I am trying to do these days

• To thank.
• To apologize.
• To smile.
• To walk looking up the sky.
