To create a better society, we need leaders who are driven by kokorozashi - a personal mission - and are innovative and creative. As Southeast Asia's presence in the global economy continues to expand, its leaders are expected to show even greater initiative.

Who likes accounting? Who does not like accounting? I would like to encourage both types of students to learn accounting as a manager. If you understand the basic principle, you will experience how much easier accounting is than you thought.

In my class you will also learn how business activities reflect upon the financial statement, similarly you will be able to imagine business characteristics through looking at the statement. Consequently, you will become a master of accounting, the global business language!

I would like to further develop GLOBIS into a place where students can earn life-changing experiences by gaining practical business skills, defining their “Kokorozashi” (sense of mission), and building lifelong human networks.

I would also like to make GLOBIS a place where graduates can return to in both good and difficult times. To meet this objective, I will try to actively meet and listen to many of you all.

Given the longevity of our careers and the rate at which work is changing, it’s no secret that lifelong learning is now a necessity. In the Critical Thinking course, we will learn skills that are broadly applicable, in high demand, and difficult to automate.

Lifelong learning should be a blessing, not a burden. There is little in this world which fulfills us more than putting new skills into practice, and that is what we aim to achieve through my course. I look forward to welcoming you to class!
