Neurosurgeon Katsumi Takizawa displays superhuman skills when he sutures blood vessels in the brain that are not even a millimeter in diameter. He is swift and precise, devoid of any trace of hesitation. His stage is international, having visited 22 countries including Cambodia, Brazil, and Russia. Takizawa’s guiding principle is rooted in a personality that cannot ignore a call for help—"Wherever summoned, I will go." In the operating room, he maintains an unruffled composure. Yet, once he finishes a surgery, a transformation occurs, and he becomes remarkably loquacious. His somewhat nonchalant demeanor remains unwavering whether in the presence of colleagues or patients. Takizawa serves as the Deputy Director at Japanese Red Cross Asahikawa Hospital, where he juggles administrative responsibilities in hospital management with surgical procedures, outpatient consultations, and on-call duties. On his days off, he responds to requests from around the world. However, “the hands of god” did not manifest overnight. In his youth, he was told that surgery was not his calling as his hands would constantly tremble from anxiety. But he persevered, and through continuous effort, he has evolved into a globally sought-after surgeon, with requests pouring in from all corners of the world.
