He was born in Sakai, Osaka, Japan. In 1973, he had B.Sc. in Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Osaka University. In 1978, he had PhD in Physical and Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Osaka University. He worked as a research associate (Fixed-term) in Division of Biological Sciences, National Research Council of Canada. In 1981, he became an instructor in Division of Biochemistry, Institute of Medical Science, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan and became an assistant professor there. From 1989 he started working as an associate professor in Department of Chemistry, School of Science, Kwansei Gakuin University, Nishinomiya, Japan. And he became a professor there in 1993. Because of the government reorganization, he became a professor in Department of Chemistry, School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University from 2001. He was a dean of the School of Science and Technology, Kwansei Gakuin University from 2006 to 2010 and he was a vice president from 2013 to 2018. He was also the president of The Spectroscopical Society of Japan (SPSJ) from 2014 to 2016.

He is a researcher in molecular spectroscopy in condensed phase, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry. He investigates basic studies and application of various spectroscopies, IR, Raman, NIR, FUV,[1] and FIR/terahertz spectroscopy. He has made many achievements in spectroscopy which would be a bridge between the basis and the application. Recently, he is very active in application of quantum chemistry to molecular spectroscopy, developing a strong bridge between them. From 1999 to 2017, for 19 years in a row, he published more than 30 papers in a year and the number of his publications is now more than 1,000. In the eight years from 2010 to 2017, his papers have been cited more than 1,200 times in each year. His h-index is 69 and his citation index totals more than 22,000 so far.[2][3]
