  Masahiro Mori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1978, while on the faculty of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Mori discovered through experiments that whereas humans may develop a fondness for robots with a mechanical appearance, the fondness turns to repulsion in the case of replicants that look "almost human".
In 1988, Mori founded the first nation-wide robot-building competition in Japan and has widely promoted robot competitions in the years since then.
Mori is currently president of the Mukta Research Institute, which he founded in Tokyo in order to promote his views on religion and robots.

Mori was born in Tokyo in 1967, studied fashion design in Japan, and worked as a fashion model during the late 1980s.
Mori's work thus draws together new technologies and futuristic icons from the mediascape of the present and the spirituality and tradition of the past.

 BLOOD, CUSTOM, AND CONSENT: THREE KINDS OF MORI GROUPS AND THE CHALLENGES THEY PRESENT TO GOVERNMENTS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Once tribal peoples, Mori are now an 80 per cent urban people, living throughout the country among all the other ethnic groups, suffering more than most from the depredations of neoliberal reform's taking away their occupations in the face of reforms oriented towards globalization and often cut off from their tribal homes and traditions.
The precise questions varied with the political climate, as the multicultural ideal was challenged by Mori on grounds of their unique identity and unwillingness to be considered 'just another ethnic group,' and as a process of iwi reconstruction emerged from the late 1980s as a major factor in the Mori world.
As to Mori, their language is under threat; many self-identifying Mori know only the rudiments of tikanga Mori, in a very abbreviated form, capturing perhaps the gist but none of the detail.
