• NAME: Fumiharu KATO - But I am better known to my acquaintances by the nickname BUNGEN, which is, though sounds a bit jokey, more or less the natural way of reading the chinese charactors of my firstname (bun = sentence, literature, gen = origin, element); it is, in fact, almost impossible for most of Japanese people to find the "correct" pronunciation fumi-haru without knowing in advance.

  • DAY/PLACE OF BIRTH: Jul. 27th, 1968, at Sendai, JAPAN, where I lived until the age of 18, except when lived in Boston, US in my childhood.

  • JOB: Now I am associate professor at Math. Department of Kyoto University.
