Misora finds beauty in well-designed systems—from geometric shapes to lines of code. Her passion for computer science drives her mission to combat fake news and build a safer digital world.
As a child, Misora loved crafting objects—folding paper, building puzzles, and designing shapes. But she soon realized her fascination wasn’t with how things looked, but how they worked underneath. When she discovered computer science, she became captivated by how elegant structures, built through logic, could solve real-world problems. This taught her that truth and function often lie beneath the surface, in the invisible frameworks that support everything—from software to societies. This mindset now shapes her passion for using technology to expose misinformation and restore trust in the digital space.
Today, Misora is actively researching fake news detection and deepfake analysis, working with Oxford research fellow Dr. Kataoka. Her project was selected from hundreds to be presented at Science Castle 2024 Tokyo-Kanto. She maintains a 4.8 GPA while taking four AP subjects outside of school, demonstrating both discipline and intellectual drive. She’s also a four-time Technovation Girls competitor, placing in the top 10% of 6,000 global teams, and leads coding groups at school that empower young women in STEM. Outside academics, her love for strategy games helps sharpen her problem-solving skills in fun and creative ways.
Her goal is to build machine learning systems that help people detect and navigate misinformation more effectively. Beyond that, she is committed to empowering the next generation of women in STEM by mentoring, leading, and opening new pathways in computer science.
