After his encounter with sign language at the age of eighteen, Yutaka Osugi underwent a complete transformation in terms of his linguistic culture. After working as a member of a theater company, educator at a vocational school, university teacher in the United States, and administrator at an organization for the d/Deaf, he joined Tsukuba University of Technology in 2006. Alongside teaching sign language linguistics and deaf studies to d/Deaf students, Osugi conducts fieldwork on historical changes and regional differences in sign language.
