Kao Corporation
Senior Manager, Digital Marketing
I joined the Kao Corporation in 1992, where I worked in the company’s laboratory until 1996. In my
position at the lab, I was engaged in numerical simulation on a Unix machine and a Cray
supercomputer. In addition, during the course of my service as a machine administrator, I encountered
a field of Web servers and become a pioneer who set up the first Web server in the Kao Corporation.
I left the laboratory in 1997 in order to get more involved in Web businesses, and in 1999, I established
a division of Kao dedicated to Web businesses. Currently I serve as a leader of a Web communication
technical group, in charge of Kao’s production site. I am also responsible for the planning and proposal
of new Web communications programs, as well as deployment of these to overseas locations.
I graduated of Hokkaido University (Master of Mathematics) and am a member of the Mathematical
Society of Japan.
