Graduated from the Faculty of Law at Keio University, and completed the University of Tokyo Graduate Schools for Law and Politics, earning a Juris Doctor (Professional). A recipient of the French Ambassador’s Award. The Executive Director of the Genealogical Research Council’s Web Division and a member of the International Society of Genetic Genealogy. Around 2000, I began assisting my maternal grandfather, Tomoo Kinoshita, with our ancestral research. As part of the business of the family mutual aid corporation I represent, I began full-scale ancestral research in March 2015. With a policy of searching for all direct ancestors regardless of surname or lineage, I discovered thousands of ancestors (5000 over) within a few months, primarily through my father’s family, the Aizu Tomida clan, who married into Kinoshita. Clan: Northern Fujiwara clan, branch of the Date clan Lineage: Tokimata Kinoshita Original family name: Fujiwara Ason Y chromosome haplogroup: D1b***** Mitochondrial: D4** Research achievements: researchmap |
