Takeshi Ito, a Japanese doctor of engineering and assistant professor at Department of Communication Engineering and Informatics, Faculty of Informatics and Engineering, University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo. He serves as chair of the Cognitive Science and Entertainment (E&C) Research Station, and as director of the Computer Shogi Association (CSA). Takeshi Ito is engaged in research on players' thought and cognitive processes such as learning, especially in the context of Go and Shogi. He is co-author of the Shogi programs HIT+SS, a knowledge based system applying a Selfish Search, and Bonanza , and a Ms. Pac-Man bot applying Monte-Carlo Tree Search, which won the Screen Capture Competition at CIG 2011.
