Creating the next global standard from this university.
As former Vice President of Google’s U.S. headquarters and President of Google Japan, I witnessed the company’s evolution from a startup to a global corporation.
Google’s mission is to organize and make accessible the world’s information, and it continues to develop new services and technologies to achieve this goal.
I have dedicated my life’s work to AI (Artificial Intelligence). In today’s world, AI and other digital technologies are becoming increasingly essential in all fields and industries.
Hence, it is crucial to have human resources with a broad perspective who can create the next global standard.
My new goal is to cultivate international professionals in the digital field for the future society.
My personal motto is “We are always fresh travelers. Let’s go as far as possible!”
Now, a new start. Let’s start on a new journey together farther into the future we have never seen yet.
Profile
As former Vice President of Google’s U.S. headquarters and President of Google Japan, he oversaw all Google operations in Japan during his tenure. In addition, he has taught at Kyoto University Graduate
School, Osaka City University Graduate School, and GLOCOM: Center for Global Communications, demonstrating his commitment to education. He was a member of the Information Economy Subcommittee of the
Industrial Structure Council of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. He is a member of the AI Network Society Promotion Council of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. He graduated
from the Department of Engineering at Kyoto University. Murakami specializes in artificial intelligence. His major publications include ‘Introduction to Knowledge-Based Systems’ (Information Science),
‘Murakami Style Simple English Study Method’ (DIAMOND, Inc.), ‘How to Work for a Lifetime’ (PHP SHINSHO), ‘Quantum Thinking’ (Nikkei Business Publications, Inc.), and ‘A Hyper Introduction to Quantum
Mechanics to Understand Quantum Computers: ‘ (Goku books).

A new “ideal university education” is coming into being.
Over the many years that I have been involved in university education, I have had first-hand experience of how its limitations prevent universities from developing the “new professionals” that society really
needs for an era in which the world is rapidly evolving.
The learning on offer at IPUT Tokyo, however, transcends these limitations.
Thanks to generous support from teaching staff with a wealth of professional experience, our students can effectively acquire new “knowledge” and gain “hands-on experience” through lectures, seminars, practical
training, internships, and contact with industry people and the local community.
I believe that this is exactly the “ideal university education” that I have wished to create for so many years, and that, in these difficult times, can produce hard-working young people.
We are cultivating professionals, “Designers in Society”, who can apply the knowledge and skills acquired during four years of study to solve social challenges, thus contributing to the creation of the “good
society”.
The International Professional University of Technology in Tokyo – a place where students can learn how to transform society’s expectations into reality by “making dreams come true”.
