I am an MA student in philosophy at Hokkaido University, currently a Recognised Student at the University of Oxford.

I work mainly in epistemology and metaphilosophy, focusing on two central questions: (i) how philosophical inquiry ought to be practiced, and (ii) what we can gain epistemically by practicing it. 

I am sympathetic to empirically informed approaches. Some of my work is in experimental philosophy; some concerns philosophical questions raised by artificial intelligence.
