谷 雄一郎
Born in 1987 in Nichinan City, Japan. After graduating from Shizuoka University of Art and Culture, Joined Suzuki Motor Corporation in 2009. Address 110 (2014), Address 125 (2017), BURGMAN STREET (2018), etc., engaged in scooter & motorcycle styling design for 10 years.Co-founded [UO] in 2020.
As a child, I loved to draw pictures of the earth. I am moved by an episode in which pioneering industrial designer Raymond Lowy suggested that a porthole (a small round window) be installed on the space station Skylab so that astronauts could see the Earth, their home.
This project is the result of a spur of the moment and a delusion on a sleepless night by Tani. UO Website https://www.uo-design.jp

山崎 詩郎
Physicist / Assistant Professor, Department of Physics, Tokyo Institute of Technology Completed Ph. D course at the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo. Then, worked at the Institute for Solid State Physics at the University of Tokyo, Hamburg University, and Osaka University as a specially appointed lecturer. Winner of the 10th Young Scientist Award of the Physical Society of Japan for research on nano-scale quantum physics. Currently also teaching as part-time lecturer in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Tokyo University of Science and in the Department of Physical Science, Tokyo Gakugei University.
On my days off, he turned into a science communicator. The show offers a wide range of activities, from a science experiment show for parents and children full of surprises to easy-to-understand physics lectures, making full use of deep and correct scientific knowledge as a scientist. In particular, I am known as Dr. Koma, who won the Koma War and participated in the World Koma War, and is the author of “The Science of Dokuraku” (Kodansha Bluebacks). Most recently, I was a member of the NHKE television program “Naoki Matayoshi’s Heureka! I have appeared in a number of media outlets, including TBS’s “Flame-no-Firetai”, Kansai TV’s “Kamai-tachi no Tekue no Koraonjo”, MBS’s “Voice Special”, TBS Radio’s “Tamao Akae no Tamamusubi”, Bungei Shunju, and Children’s Science (Wakuwaku-san’s craft special).
I’m a huge space fan and science fiction film fan, and I love the science fiction film “Interstellar” so much that I went to Sydney just to see it at the world’s largest IMAX theatre. Since then, he has given about 70 lectures on the theory of relativity using Interstellar as a theme, and the book has been published. The concept of this project is to create a product that brings our favorite universe closer to us from the perspective of design and science. With two replies, he accepts the position of science producer. He spends his days spreading the wings of his imagination that goes between science fiction and reality.
