He was also awarded Publication Prize of MSJ in 2013, the Hiroshi Fujiwara Prize for Mathematical Sciences in 2017, the Prize for Science and Technology (the Commendation for Science and Technology by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) in 2018, and the 1st Kodaira Kunihiko Prize in 2019. 31: 179:(1991–1993), and at Tohoku University (1993–2003).

Among his numerous contributions, the most famous one is a general construction of isospectral manifolds (1985), which is based on his geometric model of 171:. He is also distinguished professor of emeritus at Meiji in recognition of achievement over the course of an academic career.
