In 1983, he gained entry to Tokyo Metropolitan University, becoming the first deafblind person in Japan to study at the university level. He became an associate professor at Kanazawa University, and has been a professor at the University of Tokyo’s Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology since 2008, the first deafblind person in the world to become a full-time university professor.
