Born in 1988. Started programming from 10-year-old. Majored in computer graphics in high school and awarded a prize from Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. In university, researched 3-dimensional computer graphics using Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) with Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) and proposed some paper in various international conferences. In particular, focused on solving the distributed physical simulation using much computing resource. After that, joined small venture company to manage a multi-million business. In 2011 stayed at Silicon Valley and impressed deep neural network technology on research stage. Backed Japan, started ABEJA as Founder & CEO / CTO in September, 2012.

Keisuke Fujimoto received the BS degree in computer science in 2005, the MA degree in 2007, and the PhD degree in 2010 from the University of Electro-Communications. He has worked in Hitachi, Ltd. as part time researcher since 2004 to 2009. Then, since 2010, he has worked in Hitachi, Ltd. And he then joined ABEJA, Inc. His interests are Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Robotics. Member of IPSJ and RSJ. Associate Editor: Information Processing Society of Japan (2015-, sub-chief examiner 2016-2017).
