1. Research Interests
I am a researcher in Civil law (Japan) and Comparative Contract law (Civil law, Common law, and Mixed Legal Systems). My main interests are in “transplantation”, “conflict” and “harmonisation” of legal systems. Then, my main research fields are in Japan (a Civil Law jurisdiction with transplanted law) and sometimes in United Kingdom (a Commonwealth-Common law jurisdiction; for comparison with the Civil law System). I also discuss “harmonisation of law”, not only from a perspective of UNIDROIT, but also from a perspective of common law in “commonwealth” (e.g. “Persuasive Authority” in the commonwealth countries). Then, I attempt to apply such a type of UNIDROIT to Japanese Law as transplanted law through the Mixed Legal System as a buffer for accepting that. As my other research interests, I am also interested in 'Law and Economics' and Juris-Informatics (which includes 'Crypto Assets and Private Law').

2. CV and Biography
From Apr. 2020 to Mar. 2023, I was granted JSPS Research Fellowship (DC1) and Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research. From Apr. 2021 to Mar. 2023, I worked as a Project Researcher at Principles of Informatics Research Division, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan. In the term of them, I also researched at Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom as an Official Academic Visitor (Visiting Scholar) from 1 Jun. 2022 to 31 Oct. 2022 (*due to COVID-19, it was shortened to half year). I obtained LL.M. (Hitotsubashi University, Japan) in Mar. 2020, and Ph.D in Law (Hitotsubashi University, Japan) in Mar. 2023. I've been Fellow at Faculty of Law, Kokugakuin University since Apr. 2023.
