bout Me​

I am an associate professor of philosophy at Hokkaido University, where I am also affiliated with CHAIN and CAEP. ​My research focuses on the intersection between philosophy, psychology, and psychiatry. 

I used to be an associate professor at Hiroshima University, a research fellow at University of Birmingham, a visiting student at Yale and MIT, and a graduate student at University of Tokyo. 

I am an editorial member of the journal Philosophical Explorations and the blog Imperfect Cognitions.
