Research theme	Shakespeare in East Asian Higher Education: A Comparative Study of Pedagogical Practices in China and Japan
研究内容	My research encompasses a wide range of media and cultural forms, particularly focusing on Shakespearean representations in Mandarin-language cinema and manga, and Japanese manga. My current research explores comparative approaches to teaching Shakespeare in higher education in China and Japan. I am also interested in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and intercultural communication in academic settings.
研究・教育方針	Through comparative research on Shakespeare education in different national contexts, I aim to bridge literary studies and language pedagogy, demonstrating Shakespeare’s continuing relevance in contemporary education. In my teaching, I foster critical thinking, intercultural awareness, and academic literacy through close textual analysis while situating works within their historical and global contexts.
Main career, work history, and academic background	Waseda University, Doctor of Literature (PhD)
Message	I encourage you to read Shakespeare not as a distant historical figure, but as a writer whose works continue to resonate in contemporary society. I hope you will approach both the original texts and their adaptations with curiosity, openness, and intellectual courage, and actively participate in our shared exploration of language, culture, and interpretation.
