RESEARCH PAPERS

My research papers received the first awards in serial for three years regarding school traditional research paper and arts summer competitions in 2016,2017 and 2018.

Within the 80 years long history of Toho School, there are only two students who had received the first prize in a row for the papers they wrote. Therefore, I was interviewed by my school newspaper editor and the article and my pictures were in the one of the school newspapers, and my interviews were shown in the school TV show, broadcasted in the cafeteria during lunch time when I was senior year in middle high school.

I am proud to present my paper shown in “Research Paper page” of this web site. I researched and authored these papers when I was in junior high school but since then, Mr. Shimizu and couple teachers have recommended me to find a way for it to be read by people around the world who are interested in analyzing water polo games. So, when my school closed due to the pandemic, I decided to translate all my research papers. Shown below, right next to the first prize award plaque, are the photos of the original research papers published in “Kiri no Tomo” which is an academic journal compiled by my school, Toho.

The students who received first award were asked to make presentation in front of all the middle and high school students at the last day of second semester. I made power points to make people who have no knowledge of water polo to understand easier. Because I had these opportunities for presentation, I am confident that I get better every year with presentations skills as well.

This photo was taken by my home room teacher. I was presenting my paper in front of all middle high school students in Toho Hall. It is a school custom that all the students who got first prizes to do the presentation on their work or research every year.
