I currently serve as a Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of the Ryukyus, where I am dedicated to advancing the three pillars of academic medicine: education, clinical practice, and research. My work is deeply rooted in addressing the unique healthcare challenges faced by Okinawa Prefecture, including its remote island communities, while simultaneously promoting innovative approaches in the field of neurorehabilitation. My research career has been primarily focused on neurorehabilitation, with particular emphasis on developing and implementing cutting-edge therapeutic interventions for patients with neurological disorders. A central theme of my work involves the application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a therapeutic modality for enhancing motor recovery and cognitive function in patients following stroke and other neurological conditions. Through systematic investigation of rTMS protocols, I have sought to optimize treatment parameters and identify patient populations most likely to benefit from this non-invasive brain stimulation technique. Beyond rTMS, my research interests extend to the broader domain of innovative rehabilitation technologies and assistive devices. I am committed to bridging the gap between basic neuroscience research and clinical rehabilitation practice, translating scientific discoveries into tangible improvements in patient outcomes. This translational approach has been instrumental in
