My professional journey started in legal practice, where I specialized in M&A and corporate legal affairs at a domestic law firm. I then made a strategic move to Marubeni Corporation, where I was instrumental in driving North American investment activities within the Finance, Leasing, and Real Estate Business Division. Key highlights at Marubeni include my involvement in the Mizuho Marubeni Leasing Corporation M&A and subsequently leading crucial initiatives like mid-term management plan development and Post-Merger Integration (PMI) in the Corporate Planning Department. I’m thrilled to have become a part of Digital Garage in 2022.

In my current capacity, I am Representative Director and President of DG Strategic Investment, Inc., Representative Director and President of DK Gate, Inc., and Investment Committee Member for DG Resona Ventures Fund I Investment Limited Partnership.

I earned my Bachelor of Laws from the University of Tokyo and completed my J.D. at Waseda University Graduate School of Law (Law School) and I am an Attorney at Law in Japan.
