Director of International Center
Tamotsu Nakano
Professor
"The world is big; Kyoto is deep." With these words, I host a weekly 15-minute program on FM radio in Kyoto, Japan. After 800 episodes, this opening remains unchanged. I deeply admire the way Ryoma Sakamoto lived, and after university graduation, I spent roughly 20 years working in the Middle East, Australia, Europe, and the U.S. at institutions like the United Nations and the Brookings Institution. I'm dedicated to supporting OGU students in their journey to embrace the world through their global and unique endeavors. The world offers "unlimited possibilities." My life is my message.
