                      Greetings
Thank you very much for visiting my home page. I really appreciate it. Since you came to drop by this home page of a nameless person like me, I think you know somewhat about myself. I am neither a Nobel Prize laureate nor a famous soccer player. Nothing would be quite exciting to read in this home page. Nonetheless, I really hope that you would know more about me and through it our friendship between us will be further deepened and widened. And, as a result, something unexpectedly new would develop with us. Thank you again.

I had been brought up there until I graduate from Tokyo metropolitan university, the faculty of engineering, mechanical course. Immediately after my graduation in 1961 I started working for Honda Motor Company eventually until I became 60 years old and retired.  
  When I got my job at Honda, I was first assigned to be a foundry engineer, but several years later I began to search another possibility with which I can make full use of my potentials. After a lot of twists and turns, I finally decided to apply for the post of an overseas field service engineer. My application was smoothly accepted without any difficulty. At the time the over seas business was very quickly expanding and the company had been looking out for employees who did not mind working abroad. After I was engaged in the business associated with Ford Motor exactly for two years. An extremely exciting new post and job were waiting for me
