Rediscovering Japanese Culture and Education!

In the latest episode of the Nippori Seminar radio program, listeners are treated to an inspiring journey with deep-sea fish hunter Yuma Nishino, the 36th guest on this unique show. Operated by LAMM Inc., based in Arakawa, Tokyo, this radio series aims to foster personal growth through learning about various careers and cultural insights from diverse guests.

The upcoming segment featuring Nishino will be available on May 8, 2026, at 7 PM, via multiple podcast platforms. Nishino, born in 1997 in Kanagawa Prefecture, was influenced by his fishing enthusiast father, who introduced him to the joy of fishing at the tender age of two. This early exposure ignited a passion for the depths of the ocean, leading him to specialize in deep-sea fishing as he grew older.

While majoring in marine science at university, Nishino embarked on numerous field excursions, honing his skills in deep-sea fishing. His relentless pursuit of new and uncharted species has led him to hold an impressive 48 world records with the IGFA (International Game Fish Association) for all tackle. To put this achievement into perspective, fishing in depths of 1,000 meters can require manual reeling up to 50 minutes, a process that can be arduous yet rewarding when capturing elusive deep-sea species.

By sharing his catches with museums, Nishino not only helps contribute to the burgeoning field of deep-sea research but also plays a part in future environmental conservation efforts. In addition to his podcast appearances, he actively engages audiences through social media and YouTube, where he has established a channel to share his fishing adventures and findings.

Moreover, Nishino has launched 'Deep Sea Lab,' where he markets unique accessories made from the teeth of deep-sea sharks he has caught. His aspiration is to become synonymous with deep-sea fishing, with exciting plans for crowdfunding and lecturing about his adventures on the horizon. The Nippori Seminar series delves deep into this never-ending dream of exploring the ocean depths, allowing listeners to absorb the vast knowledge and stories Nishino has to offer.
