I was born and grew up in Taipei, Taiwan. I graduated from College of Law, National Taipei University (former National Chung-Hsin University). After working as a Taiwanese　government official (Executive Yuan), I studied at Graduate School of Law, Nagoya University (major: Administrative Law). I received my Juris Doctor in March 1997, and worked as an assistant at School of Law, Nagoya University until July 1997.After that, I returned to Taiwan and worked an assistant professor at Tamkang University (Department of Public Administration) and Soochow University School of Law. In April 2008, I moved to a university in Osaka Prefecture. I moved again to the College of Policy Science in April 2015.

The following videos explain the advantages of studying at the Graduate School of Policy Science and disciplines in which I can offer guidance.

Regarding my research, the direction of my research has changed dramatically depending on the university I belong to. When I was a student and assistant at Nagoya University Graduate School, I focused on public law in the U.S. (theory of judicial review and standing doctrine in particular), summarized the results of these research as my doctoral dissertation (title: “THE GENERATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE STANDING DOCTRINE IN ADMINISTRATIVE LITIGATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”)

When I worked at Taiwanese university, I focused on administrative procedures, administrative remedies, relationship between the national government and local governments, allocation of affairs, and autonomous legislative power etc., and I summarized “MODERN NATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE LAW”, “THEORY OF LOCAL AUTONOMY LAW “(two single-authored volumes, 2003) and “LOCAL AUTONOMY LAW “(a single-author textbook, partly including some thesis, 2009) in Taiwan.

After I started to work in Japan, I focuses on comparative research on administrative law between Japan and Taiwan, including the comparison between Japan and Taiwan regarding individual issues in administrative law. Also, I explore the basic principles of administrative law in East Asia and have compiled a book entitled "THE GENERATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW IN EAST ASIA: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BASIC PRINCIPLES AND A TRIALOGUE OF COMMON PRINCIPLES” (edited and written in 2021). Also, based on my experience in Taiwan, I am making legal policy recommendations for a code to ensure the effectiveness of Japanese administrative activities.

In addition, because I collaborate with some constitutional law researchers, I expand the scope of my research to Taiwanese constitutional history, judiciary, constitutional review, and response to the Covid-19 pandemic. I am also conducting research on the same-sex marriage law in Taiwan, which is attracted by much public attention.

Regarding education, I speak Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and English based on my working experience in Taiwan and Japan as mentioned above. I run classes for international undergraduate students in addition to classes for Japanese students on administrative law. I have actively accepted foreign students at the Graduate School.

Societies in all countries and the global society have various unjust and unfair practices. If you are willing to help solve problems in your country or in global society, I encourage you to study law. Unfortunately, many Asian countries face human rights issues, including rights of women, workers, children, minority, and foreigners etc. Please study at my graduate school if you are interested in human rights issues.
