Amano previously served as a international civil servant for the United Nations and its subdivisions.
Amano was born in Yugawara, a small town in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, in 1947. He started his studies at the University of Tokyo in 1968.

Director-general (plural directors-general), or general director, is a title given to the highest executive officer within a governmental, statutory, NGO, third sector or not-for-profit institution. It is commonly used in many countries worldwide, but often with different meanings. Although in most countries it has a business or civil service connotation, in the United States the term "general director" typically refers to the administrative head of an opera house.
In most Australian states, the director-general is the most senior civil servant in any government department, reporting only to the democratically-elected minister representing that department. In Victoria and the Australian Government, the equivalent position is the secretary of the department.
The Australian Defence Force Cadets has three Directors-General which are all One-star rank's;
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and to inhibit its use for any military purpose, including nuclear weapons. The IAEA was established as an autonomous organization on 29 July 1957. Though established independently of the United Nations through its own international treaty, the IAEA Statute, the IAEA reports to both the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council.
The IAEA has its headquarters in Vienna. The IAEA has two "Regional Safeguards Offices" which are located in Toronto, Canada, and in Tokyo, Japan. The IAEA also has two liaison offices which are located in New York City, United States, and in Geneva, Switzerland. In addition, the IAEA has three laboratories located in Vienna and Seibersdorf, Austria, and in Monaco.
The IAEA serves as an intergovernmental forum for scientific and technical cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear technology and nuclear power worldwide. The programs of the IAEA encourage the development of the peaceful applications of nuclear technology, provide international safeguards against misuse of nuclear technology and nuclear materials, and promote nuclear safety (including radiation protection) and nuclear security standards and their implementation.
Atomic energy is energy carried by atoms. The term originated in 1903 when Ernest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility of atomic energy. The term was popularized by H. G. Wells in the phrase, "splitting the atom", devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy may include:
Atomic energy is the source of Nuclear power, which uses sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity.

Kamenné modly nad krajinou ledu
mrazivé stíny v duších mrtvých
krvavé slzy zkrápìjí zem
temní andìlé zažehli hranici.
Kamenné modly nad krajinou ledu
z mrazivých stínù vychází žár,
krvavé slzy - nasáklá zem
temní andìlé utrpení.
Strážci dìsivých temnot
ochránci smrti a zatracených,
temný andìl utrpení
krvavým pláèem zkrápí zem.

trýznivì ledová, nesmrtelná, nekoneèná.
Temný úsvit zabíjí slunce
temní andìlé na vìèném trùnu,
krvavé slzy z kamených model
ledová smrš zkrápí zem.
Bohové stínù, bouøí a vìtru
vláda temnot nad krajinou ledu,
mrazivé stíny oblehly modly
tìžký led zabarven krví.
