M.D., Psychiatrist, Writer, Thinker, Music Composer. Born in 1962, Akita Pref., Japan. Graduated from Tohoku University School of Medicine.

Studied music theory and composition method under a private music teacher during university days. His carrer as a psychiatrist started with working at hospitals including Tokyo Medical and Dental University Medical Hospital. Then he moved to Paris and studied in L’Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, and worked as a counselor for Institut Culturel Franco-Japonais at the same time. He is currently working in IZUMIYA CLINIC, his own clinic in Tokyo, which specializes in Psychotherapy.

His unique method of psychotherapy to respect and make most of the nature of each person attracts clients from all over Japan and overseas (his session is only in Japanese). His original method to understand humans as “HEAD/MIND=BODY” has aroused empathy from a vast range of people. He advocates the true richness of life through his books, speeches and lectures. Some of them are translated and published in Asian countries (see below for more information). He also works as a stage director and a music composer, which he finds the same as his psychotherapy at the root.
