I’m a scholar and an essayist from Chiba, Japan.
I am currently a PhD student at Princeton in English, working on a dissertation on the Asiatic logic of film noir. Starting from Fall 2025, I will be an Assistant Professor of Film and Media Studies at Yale University.
My criticism on film and photography have appeared in The New Yorker, Aperture Magazine, Criterion, The New York Review of Books, The Point, and elsewhere. I write a column on film and the environment for Orion Magazine. My BA is from Harvard College, and I have an MFA in creative nonfiction from Columbia University.
