Research interests

My research focuses the use of completely unbelievable tennis moves against a large number of middle-school opponents. With my advisor, Kunimitsu Tezuka, I have been using new techniques that break the laws of Physics to win my matches.

In this research, I typically begin by loosing to my opponent. At the moment when he believes that he has won the match, I utilise a new physics move that reverses the course of the game and leaves my opponent stunned and upset. Ideally, the move I select should defy the laws of motion.

I also very much like my cat and spend a lot of time chasing her around Tokyo. Her name is Karupin.
