I checked because I wanted to see if I was mistaken about the lawyer/teaching law thing that steel called me out on.

He teaches at a school called Hokkaido Information University. They have various faculties including "informatics" but that does not make him an IT instructor or professor.

In his Linkedin profile, he includes a line "Research Field: Japan's Internationalization, and Racial Discrimination in Japan (rest abridged)" implying somehow his position is related to his activist work. However, if you check to see which courses he is actually teaching, you see that he is just another (f*****) English teacher (his words):


(no 'negotiation' nor 'debate' classes there nor in his title as he has claimed in the past)

ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT

Yes, he's worked in this department for a little over a year, and in the school itself for a number of years ere. However, as written above it is misleading. For him to claim that he is a member of this department without more information would be like me claiming that I am a faculty member of the Hokkaido Information of Technology, or Hokkaido University's Faculty of Nuclear Engineering, or the Japanese Air Self Defense Forces, simply because I teach English there part-time as well.

Moreover, he's not even an economist. He teaches English. He's a JAFET (Just Another English Teacher) like me.

The same school is currently seeking an English instructor for their "Medical Informatics Dept": 専任教員の募集（医療情報学科：英語）【募集終了】 | 教員募集 | 北海道情報大学 Qualified candidates require a Masters degree or above. And, their title will be either Professor, Associate Professor or Lecturer depending on their experience and probably, age. However, functionally they will be English teachers - and certainly not medical doctors or healthcare professionals.

The slightly disturbed author of this blog claims Debito pervs on his female students:

Let us also not forget dudes like in the suburbs of Sapporo, Hokkaido Information University. A decade ago, the Gaijin American born turncoat D.A./A.D. infamous for his " Sex 4 Grades " sham and many more that in the decades of my long life span in the Land of the Un-Rising Sun, I've heard of from either themselves after a few pints or from harassed broads, equally willing to talk after guzzling a few.
