Majoring in secondary English education at Aichi University of Education, he explains the reason why Japanese can't speak English is relevant to their character.

He suggests a specific medicine for this problem, while he illustrates that to know our national origins well is also important. 

Majors secondary English education at Aichi University of Education whilst he has currently been working as a student-tutor in English Support Centre. In 2012, he spent 6 months studying about individual differences and learning styles in Newman University, Birmingham, UK on Baba foundation scholarship. In the following year, he was practicing among the group of student-teachers doing teaching practicum in primary schools in Australia.

These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
