Graduated from the Faculty of Science (Mathematics), the University of Tokyo, and completed a master's degree at its Graduate School of Economics.

A valuation is rarely the end of a matter. It is used inside something else — the division of an estate, a tax filing, evidence before a court, a decision to buy or sell. Having worked on the audit, legal and tax side of those matters, he prepares each report with its reader and its eventual use already in mind.
Practice areas
- Fair market value appraisals for US estate and gift tax filings (Form 706 / 709) and for foreign probate
- Appraisals supporting Japanese inheritance tax filings, including cases where the statutory valuation overstates market value
- Expert appraisal reports and opinions for disputes: estate division, co-ownership partition, divorce settlements, eviction compensation
- Rebuttal opinions on court-appointed or opposing-party appraisals
- Rent appraisals for revision negotiations and disputes
- Second opinions and due diligence for acquisitions by non-resident investors
