I am a professor at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, University of Tokyo. My primary interests lie in comparative politics with a regional focus on Latin America, including intra-regional and trans-regional comparisons. My publications cover a range of topics related to social movements, political participation, and the process of development policies and projects. I am also intrigued by Japan–Latin American relations, especially the development of the academic circle of Latin American studies in Japan.

I welcome visiting students and researchers at all levels (from bachelor to post-doctorate) who (1) have their own funding resources, (2) are interested in political or anthropological studies related to my research topics, and (3) include a Latin American country or Japan as their primary research subjects.

​

NOTE: Due to my sabbatical leave, I will not be able to accept visiting students or researchers during the academic years 2025 and 2026.
