Atsushi was born in Yamazoe Village, Nara Prefecture, Japan which famous for many Stone Age sites. Some archaeological researchers and students have attracted him to the life as archaeologist. His subject of the hakubi subject is the elucidation and evaluation of Early Palaeolithic era of Japanese archipelago and Eastern Asia. Japanese Paleolithic hoax exposed in 2000 carried off the popularity and ambition for research from Japanese archaeology, as a result, all that remains is the ambiguity of the presence of culture before Homo sapiens in Japanese archipelago. Archaeologists need the credible researches supported the scientific method beyond the hoax. He wishes he regain the atmosphere for the lively discussion of the beginning of the human history of Japanese archipelago through my basic research in hakubi project.
