After passing the bar examination, I was responsible for family and youth cases as a family court (assistant) investigator, an employee of the court. Following two years' training, I was appointed a family court investigator. My first post was on Amami Oshima Island at the Nase Branch of the Kagoshima Prefecture Family Court.

Later, I joined Asunaro Law Office, and in October 2022, I returned to Amami as an attorney at the Amami Branch.

During my time as a family court investigator, I experienced the difficulty of dispute resolution and use of legal services on an island through family and youth cases. At the same time, the pure, kind people of Amami helped me out repeatedly. Since becoming an attorney, I have been involved in a wide range of cases that include general civil cases, debt resolution, criminal cases, and court selection in addition to family and youth cases.

In the maelstrom of a dispute, things often do not go as hoped. Even in such situations, I want to do what I can to help my clients to regain their essential strength and live their lives their own way.
