About Us
Newly Appointed Professor of Nephrology and Urological Surgery
On October 1 2014, I became a professor of the Department of Renal and Genitourinary Surgery at Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine, a position that has been held by Professor Ichiro Tsuji, Professor Tomohiko Koyanagi, and Professor Katsuya Nonomura since its inception. I would like to express my gratitude to all the professors and medical staff in the department who have worked together to make the Department of Renal and Genitourinary Surgery a leader in the field. Thank you very much.
My mission is to further develop the Department of Renal and Genitourinary Surgery at Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine.
For this purpose, I think it is important to recognize that the members of the Department of Renal and Genitourinary Surgery, including myself and my fellow professors, live in a single community. In order to live in this community, each of us needs to contribute to it in our own way and with our own strengths under a defined goal (mission).
I believe that our mission is "to provide world-class urological care through research, education, and medical treatment, while also contributing to community medicine that meets local needs.
