Remarks
I am deeply honored and delighted to receive the Medal with Purple Ribbon. For over 40 years, since my appointment at Osaka Prefecture University, one of OMU’s predecessor institutions, I have dedicated myself to studying glass-based ionic conductors. Today, the practical application of all-solid-state batteries—which seemed like a distant dream 4 decades ago—has become a reality. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my colleagues, staff, students, collaborators, and senior researchers who have worked with me throughout these years. I am very appreciative of their support and of the research environment I have been fortunate to be a part of. I also aim to leverage this award as an opportunity to make meaningful contributions to society in any way I can.
