I am the representative director of Amber Japan KK, a cryptocurrency exchange that has obtained a license from the JFSA (Japan Financial Services Agency). Prior to taking the current position, I worked at Huobi Japan, a cryptocurrency exchange licensed by the JFSA, and B2C2, a major cryptocurrency liquidity provider acquired by the Japanese financial conglomerate SBI Group at the end of 2020. He also participated in funding the JFSA licensed exchange Liquid around the time he began his cryptocurrency career with IDG Capital.
