Description
I graduated from Shinshu University in Matsumoto in 1981, and joined the Department of Neurosurgery (under professor Ken-ichiro Sugita at the time) at Shinshu University after finishing my residency.
I began my career as a pediatric neurosurgeon in 1986 after I spent a year as a clinical fellow at Kobe Children’s Hospital. He moved to New York University Medical Center in 1991 and trained in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring under Vedran Deletis and in pediatric neurosurgery under Fred J Epstein as a clinical fellow. Upon my return to Japan in 1995, I studied spinal and epilepsy surgery at Aichi Medical University and National Niigata Chuo Hospital. In 2002, I was appointed Director of the Division of Neurosurgery in the newly founded National Center for Child Health and Development in Tokyo and led what was to become the largest pediatric neurosurgical service in Japan. I moved to Tokyo Metropolitan Children’s Medical Center in 2014, Then to Kitasato University Hospital in 2018, and continue to be energetically involved in surgery and clinical research.
