From an Enterprise to a Global Startup, Terra Motors

I attended a Technical High School where  I specialized in technical study. I stayed in Kyushu   till I was 20 years old, and moved  to a university in Kyoto as a third-year transfer, where I  focused on my studies until I graduated school.  I joined a battery manufacturer called GS Yuasa and worked there  for 11 years before joining Terra Motors in September, 2021. At GS Yuasa I was working  in mechanical development . my area of expertise, under which the development department does  research elements.

Previously in my job, I experienced from the initial stages of development and research to mass production. I was also majorly engaged in the battery industry,  specifically cells and substrates. I am grateful that I was able to experience a wide range of factors there. My role at Terra Motors is positioned as an expert on batteries in general, means  I am an expert on the single cell that is often used in dry cell batteries, the package that it contains , and how it is used in a car.

Frankly, I wanted to change my job at least once in my life. Life is long, and I wanted to work in multiple cultures rather than staying in one only. I have been involved in kendo, Japanese martial arts and other sports. In martial arts, there is a word “Shuhari,” which is composed of “to protect,” “to break,” and “to leave “.

Firstly, we follow and do as we are taught. There is a saying that you create your own originality, or in other words, break it down, and then leave it and do it on your own. I had spent 10 years working  for a large corporation. So I decided  it was time to depart and do my own thing.
