Bio

Hello! Kotaro OKUYAMA is a mathematics major at Tohoku University in Japan, born in 2003 and lived in Tokyo until 2022. Now I live in Sendai, where my university is located. (as of 2023).

Born into a purely Japanese family, he was a child with a kind and charming smile from an early age. He disliked conflict, but played sports for many years. He especially loves soccer the most and his favorite team is FC Schalke 04 (German soccer team).

He is not afraid to try new things. He is willing to get out of his comfort zone. He is currently involved in many things, but not enough activities to embrace his passion.

His interest is to create a startup with DeepTech; as of 2023, he envisions his vision in the field of quantum annealing.

October 2023, his current interests are the compatibility of people in teamwork and idea generation, as well as early childhood education, design thinking education, and quantum annealing. The issue he would most like to work on is an initiative to reduce the financial burden of university club activities.

Through the UIF program, he learned about his own inability to work well with his peers. As a matter of fact, he often battled with Natsumi, who was also a candidate.

Achievements

As far as school is concerned, he became student body president and won the Japan Student Council Grand Prize when he was in high school.
