Biography
At MUFG Bank, Ltd (formerly Mitsubishi Bank), I worked in the corporate sales department, promoting loans and managing credit collections for small and medium-sized enterprises at several branches, and in the lending department at headquarters, where I was involved in credit assessments, including screening and corporate rehabilitation support. I then moved to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (Minister's Secretariat, Inspection and Supervision Department), where I was involved in market risk and credit risk inspections of related organizations under the ministry's jurisdiction, such as the Norinchukin Bank, ZEN-NOH, and local agricultural cooperatives. I also worked on examining data-driven inspection methods, such as classifying inspection targets through data analysis.
