From 1988 to 1992, he had discovered a total of 22 numbered asteroids together with his colleague, Kazuro Watanabe, at the Kitami Observatory in the Kitami-Abashiri Region Cultural Centre in eastern Hokkaidō, Japan, where several amateur astronomers have been conducting an active program of astrometric observations of minor planets and comets.[1][3] He is director of the astronomical club in Kitami, where he also works for the NHK broadcasting office.[2]
The minor planet 4343 Tetsuya, discovered by Seiji Ueda and Hiroshi Kaneda in 1988, was named in his honour.[2]
