ProfessorMy research focuses on the construction of an economic theory on sustainability that encompasses both capital bases and throughput resources. Also, I have been working on research activities to provide information on sustainability at the local government level to support policy formulation through a back-casting approach. This includes visualizing the impact of population decline and understanding the potential for decarbonization.

Graduate School of Social Sciences / Law School, Chiba University
ProfessorFrom a Criminal Law standpoint, I conduct research in areas closely related to information and communication technology (ICT), such as cybersecurity and cybercrime. With new technologies emerging daily, novel criminal methods also develop, prompting me to explore effective legal responses. At the same time, since over-criminalization could impede technological advancement, so I strive to find a balance where both technology and law can evolve effectively and interactively.
Recent Topics of Interest:
Technology and Law, Information Criminal Law, Cybercrime, Criminal provisions in the fields of Intellectual Property law, such as the Copyright Act, the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, AI and Law, Metaverse and Law, Defamation and Insults, Criminal legislation theory
Motto in Research or in Life:
With an engineering background and a fascination with law, I find it rewarding to develop legal theories that benefit society. Since both laws and legal interpretations are the product of human effort, I believe there is a significant similarity between engineering, which aims to create valuable things, and law.
