Ms. Yasuko Takeuchi was born in Kobe and raised in Osaka, Japan. She will be staying for 6 months with her son. “We are interested in outdoor activities and Hawaiian culture. My main area of research is inclusive physical education focusing on therapeutic camping for children and senior citizon with disabilities. I have visited Hawaii on a number of occasions and had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Kiriko Takahashi. March 2020, we gave a joint presentation at the Pacific Rim International Conference. Dr. Takahashi introduced me to Dr. Nathan Murata and Dr. Robert Stodden who, along with Dr. Takahashi and Dr. Oshita, have inspired me to do further research in this field.”
