Additional information

He received his B.LL. degree from the University of Tokyo in 1948. He changed his interest from Law to Engineering and joined Tokyo Tshushin-Kogyo Co., Ltd., the preceding name of ony Corporation. He has been working on the titanium deposition by electrolysis since 1952.

He joined hihara Sangyo Co., Ltd. in 1950. He started a joint project with S. Tokumoto to develop a new process of Ti deposition by electrolysis in 1952. He joined Sony Corp. in 1959 and has been working with S. Tokumoto since then.

He otained a BS degree from Sophia University in 1969 and joined Sony Corp. the same year.
