International pioneer in non-extraction and non-surgical orthodontic treatment based on developmental mechanism of malocclusion. Developed MEAW technique and GEAW (Gummetal Edgewise Archwire) system enabling three-dimensional control of occlusal plane, correction of vertical dimension, and mandibular repositioning without extractions or surgery. Research focus on maxillofacial growth, changes in occlusal vertical height and occlusal plane, mandibular adaptation mechanisms, relationship between occlusal plane inclination and TMJ disorders, and effectiveness of orthodontic treatment for TMD. International lecturer teaching craniomandibular orthodontics worldwide for over 40 years.

DDS from Kanagawa Dental College (1971). DDSc (Doctor of Dental Science). Active member of E.H. Angle Society of Orthodontists (since 1992).

Trained hundreds of orthodontists worldwide in MEAW/GEAW philosophy through IDEA courses and international workshops. Recognized globally as one of the most influential orthodontists in functional occlusion and craniomandibular orthodontics.
