An inquisitive mind from a young age, dreamed of becoming an archaeologist. To achieve this dream, passionately studied Asian history. However, with age this inquisitiveness turned towards machine engineering. Proceeded from the local Saganishi High School to study engineering at Kyushu University. Drawn in by the fascination of machine engineering, decided to make this his life’s work.

After graduating university, worked at a machinery design office in Kitakyushu before moving to Saga Plant Industry in 1976.
Became president of the company in 1980. Since assuming the role, has been dedicated to a hands-on approach.
Established a style that involves visiting client production areas to meticulously research issues and areas of improvement.
Utilizing a high technical ability that enables design/production of original industrial machinery, created numerous one-off machines by uncovering hidden customer needs and passionately exchanging opinions on the factory floor. Continues to create steady growth with tremendous trust from customers.
In his forties, independently planned and created automated motor assembly machines, which failed spectacularly.
However, backed by trusted staff and supported by customers, saved the company from trouble with his naturally positive personality and characteristic ability to take action. This brought home once more the importance of individual connections and personal relationships.

His motto is ‘Challenge! Challenge!! Challenge!!!’
His attitude to constantly seek new challenges remains unchanged today.
