<Award Comment>

I am thrilled to announce my selection as one of the winners of Innovators Under 35 Japan 2025 by MIT Technology Review! This prestigious honor validates my foundational belief: that the immense power of AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) must be developed with a profound commitment to global equity and accessibility. My vision is to ensure that the transformative benefits of AI are not limited to English-speaking communities but are brought to low-resource and non-English language communities worldwide, starting with the Japanese healthcare sector.
