A native of Tokyo, Japan, he was an avid baseball player and enjoyed living in the city until he moved to Nebraska. Growing up in Tokyo, a city of 14 million people, he never thought he would go to college and never dreamed he would find himself in central Nebraska. As he says, “In 2012, I decided to look for a change in my life and left Tokyo to learn more about business at UNK, one of the finest institutions in the United States. This journey has not been easy, but it has been an extremely rewarding and exciting one.”
