Berkeley, graduating in 1986 with a degree in East Asian Languages and Literature. After obtaining a master's degree in political history from Tohoku University's Graduate Faculty of Law, he attended Duke Law school where he was a Richard Nixon Fellow and graduated in 1993 with both a J.D. and an LL.M. in International and Comparative Law. After seven years doing finance and securities transactions for a large law firm in New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo, he bet his future on the First Internet Bubble, moving in-house to a position at the telecommunications firm Asia Global Crossing, which obligingly went bankrupt a few years later. In 2005 he became a professor at Doshisha Law School and continues to practice as a business lawyer while also sitting on corporate boards.He has written extensively on a wide range of subjects with a particular focus on Japanese law. In addition to his long-running column in The Japan Times, he has written four books in Japanese, as well as being lead author on the 2018 treatise, The Japanese Legal System (West Academic),
