Born in 1984 in Oita Prefecture.
After graduating from Kyushu University Graduate School, he joined Itochu Corporation.
He is involved in project management for the import and export of pharmaceuticals and overseas factory construction, etc. He spends his days traveling between Asia, Europe and the United States, and since 2016 he has been involved in trading as a futures trader of petrochemical products.
When he encountered Bitcoin, he was shocked by the fact that virtual currency can transfer value without going through a bank, based on his experience in international trade.
Convinced that fintech will change the world, he founded STANDAGE Inc. with his junior colleague at Itochu, current Vice President Omori, in March 2017. He is currently involved in the development and operation of DigiTrad, a trade platform that includes a new international payment system using blockchain technology, while also working to support domestic small and medium-sized enterprises in expanding into export markets.

Graduated from the Graduate School of Chemistry and Biotechnology at the University of Tokyo in 2012.
During his university days, his research focused on developing materials for diagnostic drugs for the early detection of cancer cells.
As a travel enthusiast, he placed importance on frequent overseas business trips for work, and joined the general trading company Itochu Corporation, where he was mainly involved in trading of pharmaceuticals and healthcare products, as well as M&A with overseas companies.
Having previously run a resale business on Amazon and eBay as a hobby, he keenly felt the slowness of the digital shift in B2B trade, but was also strongly convinced of the potential of digital transformation in this field. In 2017, he co-founded STANDAGE Co., Ltd. with Akinori Adachi (current CEO of STANDAGE), who was his senior at Itochu at the time.
Currently, as the head of sales/marketing, he is working daily to develop users and collaborative partners and promote business development.
