Part 2: Yuta (@YUTA_Oishi) , Ambassador Content Creator:
As you all know by now, the Japanese community was invaluable the Cardano project’s grassroots. With great enthusiasm, we want to announce and welcome a new Japanese Cardano Ambassador joining our ranks! The Cardano community in the land of the rising sun is slowly but steadily growing, expanding its presence and awareness.
Thank you for all your helpful content, meetup talks, support but above all: enthusiasm! Please give Yuta a warm welcome!
(Yuta’s story is both in English and Japanese)

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What is your background?
Hello! In 2013. I passed an exam to be a certified public accountant, worked part-time from 2014, and then full-time from 2015 at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC, which is part of the Deloitte Tohmatsu Group. I was involved with auditing accounts of companies aiming to have an IPO. From October 2017, I joined a venture firm as the financial manager.
2013年に公認会計士試験に合格し、2014年から非常勤として、2015年から常勤として、Deloitte Tohmatsu グループの有限責任監査法人トーマツに入り、IPOを目指す会社を中心として会計監査業務に携わりました。2017年10月からベンチャーに財務管理者として入社しました。
2) How did you get interested and involved with Blockchain/Crypto?
My interest was in what was being invested in. Recommended by the president of the company, I first purchased Bitcoin sometime in October 2017, and because the value went up, I read several articles promoting Cardano, saying that it’s quantum, and peer-reviewed, so I bought ada for the first time.
It was necessary to assess the success of the investment after that, so I first made a thorough visual comparison of the road map on the Cardano website and of strategies using other platforms. Next, I listened to the community’s voices on Telegram and Reddit, etc., as well as to Charles Hoskinson’s comments on AMAs, and collected information directly from the community and developers. Finally, I read Github and other papers on the topic.
I went through the research, and as my understanding of the Cardano project grew deeper, I realized that the Cardano project wasn’t just another investment, but was something likely to be written in the history books. Therefore, I feel that it’s something I must support.
*興味のきっかけは、投資対象としての関わりでした。社長に勧められ2017年10月頃に初めてビットコインを購入、それが値上がりをしたため2018年7月頃に、ネット上での「量子耐性がある、査読されている」等とCardanoを推す記事をいくつか読み、ADAを初めて購入しました。
その後、投資成果の評価の必要のため、まずは、Cardanoの公式ホームページのロードマップと他のプラットフォームの戦略などを徹底的に見比べ、次に、テレグラムなどやレディットなどのコミュニティの声やチャールズのAMAをきいてコミュニティや開発者からの直接の情報を集め、最後に、Githubや論文を読み込みました。
これらをリサーチをへて、Cardanoプロジェクトへの理解が深まるにつれ、Cardanoプロジェクトは単なる投資対象から、おそらく今後歴史に名を残すぜひとも応援すべき対象に変わっていきました。*
3) Why Cardano?
I determined that Cardano is superior from the perspective of security, reliability, achievability, decentralization, sustainability, scalability, privacy, transparency, fairness, economic, interoperability, legality, finality, and stability.
And that’s just an overview! (For more details, check out my personal website)
Security (mathematically defined, mathematical precedent, mathematically based) (including quantum tolerance), accuracy (ensured from theoretical aspects and implementation aspects), achievability (degree of development activity, number of papers), decentralization (qualitative, low barriers to entry, quantum and game theory-based coefficients), sustainability (development funding function, voting system), scalability (payment and processing layer separation, high-speed language, RINA), legality (separation of individual rights and market rights, distributed reputation system), privacy (compatible with regulation), transparency (open testnet, dedicated Telegram channels in various countries’ languages, AMA), fairness (mathematically proven for complete equality), economic (quantitatively, qualitatively low-energy consumption), interoperability (side chain, private chain) SmartContract (① minimized risk with by being strict and fast (Plutus), ② easy for non-program designers (Marlowe), ③ multi-lingual support (IELE)), finality (provided as an additional function as a trade-off to ensure safety), stability (increased transactions).
安全性/正確性/達成力/分散性/持続性/高速性/機密性/透明性/公平性/経済性/相互性/適法性/スマートコントラクト/即時性/安定性の観点から、Cardanoの優位性を判断しました。
概要としましてはこんなところです!(詳細はサイトにて)
安全性(数学的定義・数学的前提・数学的根拠)(量子耐性含む)・正確性(査読による理論的な担保、形式手法等による実装面の担保)・達成力(開発活発度・論文数)・分散性(質的ー参加障壁・量的ーゲーム理論に基づく係数)・持続性(資金調達システム・投票システム)・高速性(シャーディング・レイヤー分離・採用言語・RINA)・適法性(個人の権利と市場の権利の分離・分散型評判システム)・機密性(規制と両立)・透明性(公開型テストネット・広い各国言語対応テレグラム・AMA)・公平性(数学的に証明された公平平等性)・経済性(量的・質的に合理的な省電力)・相互性(サイドチェーン・プライベートチェーン)・スマートコントラクト(①エラーのリスクを極限まで抑えた厳密かつ高速(Plutus)②非プログラマでも簡単設計可能(Marlowe)③多言語に対応(IELE))・即時性(安全性とのトレードオフのため追加機能としての提供)・安定性(取引量増加)
4) How are you contributing to the Cardano Ecosystem as an Ambassador?
To understand the Cardano Ecosystem of the community in Japan where there are a relatively large amount of ada holdings, it’s extremely important to see things from the perspective of governance. Even if solid governance is built, proper voting can’t take place without an understanding of Cardano’s technology within the Japanese community. If there is no trust, then the Cardano system will be hindered from growing. Still, I have the impression that difficulty in understanding the underlying technology of Cardano in Japan is what is keeping it from taking off.
For the upcoming Voltaire era of the Cardano roadmap, I would like to contribute by creating easy-to-understand contents so that the Japanese community will have a sufficient understanding of what Cardano is, then promote the Cardano ecosystem, and have Cardano take the lead.
ADAの保有量の相対的に多い日本コミュニティのCardano Ecosystemへの理解は、特にガバナンスの観点から極めて重要です。いかなる強固なガバナンスを築いても、日本コミュニティにCardanoのテクノロジーの理解がなく適切な投票を行えない、もしくは委託できない場合、Cardanoシステムの成長が妨げられます。しかしながら、日本において、Cardanoのテクノロジについてはまだまだ難解でついて行けていない方も多いように感じています。
私は来るVortaire期に日本コミュニティが十分な知識を身につけていること、そしてむしろCardano Ecosystemに提案を行い、リードしていけるようになるため、分かりやすいコンテンツ作成を通じて貢献をしていきたいと考えています。
5) What is your future vision for the Cardano Ecosystem?
My future vision for Cardano is, of course, to provide a solid, financial infrastructure for 3 billion people who have no bank account or official social status.
The problem with low voter turn-out in Japan and the lack of interest in politics are the biggest problems domestically in Japan. However, if convenient, electronic voting were possible via smartphones, and if there were no supervising organizations tallying up the numbers, it would be far cheaper. With this approach, what if we could have the will of the people reflected in the government for each policy in a way that is fair, private, inexpensive, distributive, and quick? The Cardano Ecosystem has the academic backing for this, and is getting attention from so many governments. I think the Cardano Ecosystem has potential applications for the government of Japan as well.
Cardanoの将来のビジョンはもちろん、30億人の身分も口座も持たない人たちへ強固な金融インフラを与えることです。
また、日本の投票率問題、政治への無関心問題は、日本国内最大級の問題です。しかしもし、各政策に応じて、気軽でありながら厳格にスマートフォンで電子投票でき、しかもその集計を管理する団体がなく、しかもコストも安価、と言う仕組みがあったとしたら、民意を、政策別に、公平に、厳密に、安価に、分散的に、素早く、政治に反映できるとしたらどうでしょうか?Cardano Ecosystemはその学術的な裏付けもあり、多くの政府に注目されています。Cardano Ecosystemには日本の政治にも応用可能なポテンシャルがあると考えています。
6 ) What is your personal message to the Cardano community?
Because I want to create content that has value, I am looking for news about what everyone in the community wants to know, what misgivings they may have, and about any worries. I would just love to get suggestions like, “This article is so interesting and easy to understand! Maybe you should try passing it on to the Japanese community?” Please don’t think, “I don’t want to bother him with my questions,” or “He’s probably too busy.” Please don’t hold back with your questions or requests! I can’t guarantee a reply, but I’m definitely going to read all the messages I get!
価値あるコンテンツを作りたいため、コミュニティの皆さんが、何を知りたいのか、何を疑問に思っているのか、不安に思うニュースはあるか、と言うニーズや、「この記事はぜひ面白いので分かりやすくしてコミュニティに紹介できないですか?」と言う提案などが、非常に欲しいです!ぜひ「こんなこと聞いたら失礼かな」、とか、「忙しいかな」、とか思わず、ガンガンご質問・ご要望ください!必ず返事することは保証できませんが、すべて読ませていただきます。
Don’t forget to like, follow, share Yuta’s hard work! He can be followed on the Cardano Forum, on Twitter, his Personal website or Telegram chatroom (Japanese language only)!
—The End of Part 2.
We are truly blessed with such motivated community members we have in our ecosystem! Thank you all for reading, and don’t forget to leave your comments/likes and give our Ambassadors some Cardano community and follow their work!
