Professor Inakage's Final Lecture & Party.

My 18 years as Chair of the Graduate School Committee since KMD's founding,

He said he wanted the head of that new graduate school to be an alien—not a Japanese person, a foreigner, or even an Earthling.

The party hosted by Professor Inakage—who has long been called an “alien”—was a warm, family-like gathering attended by many Japanese, foreigners, and Earthlings.
