To believe your possibility

Q: What is the thing necessary for foreigners to succeed in Japan?

A: To believe your possibility. Please believe in yourself with the passion for challenge and get over each difficulty one by one. It is of course, important to study Japanese and Japanese culture. However it doesn’t mean you have to throw away your way of thinking.



These days, Japanese companies are paying attention to international students and Japanese students who were back from abroad to the realization of new globalization of a society. It has a part that they are looking for people who can express themselves clearly. With keeping the respect for your culture background, please keep your way in life.




Q: What would you like to do in Japanese society under the globalization?

A: I would love to continue to support people who challenge.

It’s been an age of excessive information and people tend to be satisfied with similar experience. And children don’t have to try hard to get into a college because of a drop in the birth rate. These lead to the age that doesn’t necessarily require people challenge.



I have many opportunities to give a lecture so I want to keep telling people the greatness which you will never be able to have without going abroad, and also the importance of challenge with the belief in yourself with my own experience.



All the students enter NIC with their eyes brightening. They get matured after the challenges and getting over hardships with believing in themselves.


I want to make every effort to make young people notice their chance to change




Q: For the last question, please let us share your motto.

A: “There is no thing such as by chance.


This is the message from my daughter who passed away when she was 18.


It teaches me that everything you got has each meaning and to accept it in a positive way is important.



And I also like “Sokutenkyoshi” that means “we should go with the flow after making every effort you can.” This is my daughter’s another favorite word and it teaches that your efforts will be rewarded if you do them with disinterests.



I teach this lesson to my students. I’m sure that someone is seeing your challenge so do your best with anything you got!
