I write
articles about culture, technology, and human rights for Wired, Popular Science, Fast Company, and the New York Times Magazine. I also produce radio segments for PRI's Studio360 and am a Correspondent for
Boing Boing, one of Time Magazine's five most essential blogs of 2010.
In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

I am moving to Okinawa next year to work in a science lab and I swear, if I ever get my mad scientist license, I'll make this DREAM A REALITY.

Fake. I'm sure this is just another MAD edit video. I see this sort of thing all the time.

It's from an anime series that, surprisingly, I forgot the name of.
Had a guy that looked like Dr. Wiley in it if that helps. Lots of fanservice.

Someone beat me to it. It's from an anime series. I'm having a hard time recalling the name too, not hentai anime though.

The Anime is called "Melody of Oblivion" Such a twisted show cant seem to grasp what the plot is.
