ABOUT ME

Professor, Department of Life Science, Faculty of Advanced Engineering, Chiba Institute of Technology

IKUMEN “Ikumen” is a Japanese term for fathers who actively participate in raising their children. The word combines "ikuji", meaning childcare in Japanese, with the English word “men.” Although traditional Japanese work culture often expected fathers to devote most of their time and energy to their jobs, an increasing number of fathers now take an active role in childcare and enjoy spending time with their children.

I consider myself a true IKEUMEN! As you can see from the photo, I am fully committed to spending time with my daughter.
