Welcome to my user page! My name is Hikaru Kato, and this page was created on July 25, 2023. I am currently employed at Nissin Sugar Co., Ltd., where I am involved in the research and development of functional oligosaccharides. Prior to joining Nissin, I spent many years in academia conducting research in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, which has given me a specialization in chemistry.

I've joined Wikipedia to contribute to and share information about cyclodextran, a functional carbohydrate that I'm involved in researching and developing. My intent is to provide accurate, fact-based information that enhances the understanding of this complex subject for Wikipedia users worldwide.

Please note that while I am an employee of Nissin Sugar Co., Ltd., I am committed to maintaining Wikipedia's core principles of neutrality, verifiability, and no original research in all my contributions. I understand the implications of a potential conflict of interest and will do my utmost to avoid them, including being transparent about my professional affiliations and carefully referencing all my contributions to ensure they meet Wikipedia's standards.

I look forward to contributing to this vast repository of knowledge. If you have any questions or require further clarification, feel free to drop me a message on my talk page.
