I am a DPhil student in International Relations at the University of Oxford, supervised by Professor Edward Keene. Having initially commenced my doctoral studies in the Faculty of Law, I transferred to the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) in 2025. My research sits at the intersection of international political theory, the history of international law, and socio-legal studies, with a particular focus on sovereignty, status, and the spatiality of law. Originally from Japan, I moved to Germany at the age of eighteen to pursue higher education. Before coming to Oxford, I studied across Berlin and London — completing a BA in Political Science at Freie Universität Berlin, an MA in International Politics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and an MSc in Political Sociology at the London School of Economics.
