After graduating from the Graduate School of Economics at the University of Tokyo in 1980, KAMII Yoshihiko got tenure as lecturer of labor economics at Saitama University, a national university near Tokyo. He was promoted to associate professor in 1983, and to professor in 1994. He was elected to dean of Faculty of Economics in 2002, serving six years. In 2008 he was elected to President of Saitama University and served six years until March 2014.Judging from his career, his life seems to be a typical academic success story, but in reality, it is a long story of severe setback and dramatic comeback. In this essay I examine what his career means to Japan's labor studies and evaluate his contributions to labor research.
