He is a professor emeritus at Shimonoseki City University, Japan, and a founder of the Research Group on Island Regions of the Association of Japanese Geographers. He has been studying Japanese islands for more than 50 years. He especially focused on islands in Western Japan, such as the islands in the Seto Inland Sea, the Kyushu area, and Okinawa. In the course of these studies, he revealed that the Japanese advance into the South Sea was initiated and developed for the purpose of catching albatrosses (Japanese Advance into the Pacific Ocean, English version published by Springer). He received several Geographical Society Awards for this study.
