Kenji received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nuclear engineering from Kyoto University and has an MBA from Stanford University.

Since joining Tokyo Electric Power Company in 1996, he has worked in the nuclear division, designing next-generation nuclear reactor and spearheading an international nuclear new build project in Texas.

After coping with the Fukushima Nuclear Accident in 2011, Kenji proposed an “Antifragile” strategy aimed at revitalizing TEPCO.

The Antifragile strategy, including a concept to utilize Bitcoin mining as a flexible power demand that could harness "wasted" renewable energy and could optimize the power grid system, culminated in his founding of Agile Energy X in 2022.
