What led me to study: My specialty is archeology. When I was a graduate student, I conducted fieldwork such as investigating ruins in Tanzania and Siberia. I was appointed to Hokkaido University in 2001 as an expert on northern archeology. While involved in research and education with students in Hokkaido, I became interested in Hokkaido's ruins and the history of the Ainu people, and developed an interest in indigenous archeology. In 2007, I was involved in the establishment of the Ainu and Indigenous Peoples Research Center on campus, and in 2010 I transferred from School of Humanities and Human Sciences to the center, and since then I have been researching the relationship between archeology and indigenous peoples around the world. I'm researching.
