My name is Ryuta Ono. I was born and raised in Osaka, Japan, and spent much of my time in Kyoto, where I completed both my B.A. and M.A. at Doshisha University. My interests lie in syntax, phonology, and the interface between the two. I am especially interested in agreement, case marking, prosody, ellipsis, dialectal variation, and minimalist theory.

Outside of linguistics, I enjoy watching old movies, listening to music (especially AOR, Bossa Nova, country music, and classic Japanese pop), reading novels, drinking beer, taking photos, and traveling, sometimes all at once.
