- He is interested in cross cultural medical matters and is quite receptive to the needs of medical
students and physicians visiting Hawaii from Japan.
Being fully bilingual in medical Japanese and English, he has contributed significantly to our ability
to understand and communicate. For example, he developed and directed our first cross-cultural medical
seminar, "Learning from the Differences" in June 2004. The seminar was well received by local speakers
and 15 participants who traveled from Japan.
- He is currently working with Rotary Clubs in Japan to develop a grass-root campaign to eradicate measles in that country.
