Sources & verification

Last verified 2026-07-12 · placed by verification, never by payment.

Editorial note: Tier 1 CONFIRMED adversarially. Imagawa's FISHRS status is verified directly in the ISHRS Find-a-Doctor authority directory (ishrs.org/doctor/37101) — not merely self-claimed. Corroborated by independent Japanese medical directory doctorsfile.jp, the independent FUE Surgeons directory (fuesurgeons.com), a Springer academic book chapter on Asian hair-transplant history, and yoku-mite ranking media. Photo is the direct <img> from the clinic director page (high confidence it is him; ISHRS directory carries a matching portrait). No published email — web-form consultation only.
