[Statement] I have been engaged in research and development in the Information Communication Technologies (ICT) company laboratories for about 30 years, followed by academic research and teaching at a graduate school for over 10 years. During those periods, the technological innovations have achieved the globalization of ICT industries, and yielded a lot of advantages and benefits to Japan. I would like to do my best as an auditor so that the IEICE will be able to contribute to the further progress and growth of the ICT more than ever.
