I became a person concerned with innovation in magnetic recording and have experienced how science and technology have developed. In the gallery of the First Building of our campus is the exhibition of the first machine for mass production and the shield trophy which was given by four American and Japanese companies in memory of gratitude for the invention of vertical magnetic recording. The world’s biggest Seagate and Japanese mainstay companies switched to the vertical types simultaneously. Innovation is happening from Japan. We can say, “Research’s fusion into society, which is integration”. I feel deeply moved that my aim when young—moving the world with Japanese ideas—has been attained now. The reason why these four companies put the invention into practical use almost at the same time is that the No.144 Committee of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science arranged an environment where the latest information can always be shared. I didn’t obtain a patent except for the principle patent for the vertical magnetic recorder. I think this experience of mine will be useful for the educational scenes.
