生い立ちと学生時代
東京都豊島区出身。旧帝国海軍足柄軍楽隊とNHK交響楽団で勤めたスタジオ・ミュージシャンでトランペッターの横川秀男と、NHK交響楽団ピアニストの横川和子の間に一人子で生育する。幼少期から音楽に慣れ親しんだ生活を送り、足柄軍楽隊勤務の父から海にまつわる話を多く聞き、海に憧れて航海士を志す。
1969年4月に女子学院中学校へ入学する。女子学院高校時代に筑波大学名誉教授猪郷久義が地質学講師として授業を担当したことから大陸移動説に興味を抱き、猪郷が顧問を務める地学班へ入部して現地調査の面白さを体感する。
高校3年の進路決定時に、大陸移動説で学んだマダガスカル島が位置する南極大陸を訪れることを目的に航海士を志す。航海士の要件である海技士資格取得の可否を防衛大学校、海上保安大学校、東京商船大学、東京大学へ問い合わせたが、受験資格は男性のみであった。東京水産大学は、学長の佐々木忠義が「女性を受け入れたら、話題性があって面白い」と歓迎し、受験資格に性別規定が無いことから、1974年4月に東京水産大学水産学部漁業学科へ入学する。

A Japanese fisheries science researcher with a Ph.D. (fisheries science), specially appointed associate professor at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, and president of the Independent Research Institute. Her husband is Shigeharu Aoyama, a member of the House of Representatives and a writer, and her son is Taiki Aoyama, former president of the Independent Research Institute.
Early life and student days
Born in Toshima Ward, Tokyo. He is the only child of Hideo Yokogawa, a studio musician and trumpeter who worked for the former Imperial Navy Ashigara Military Band and the NHK Symphony Orchestra, and Kazuko Yokogawa, a pianist for the NHK Symphony Orchestra.

When deciding on his career path during his third year of high school, he decided to become a navigator with the aim of visiting Antarctica, where the island of Madagascar, which he had learned about the theory of continental drift, is located. We contacted the National Defense Academy, the Japan Coast Guard Academy, the Tokyo University of Mercantile Marine, and the University of Tokyo to find out whether it was possible to obtain the marine engineer qualification, which is a requirement for navigators, but only men were eligible to take the exam.

Since there are no gender requirements for entrance exams, she entered the Department of Fisheries, Faculty of Fisheries, Tokyo University of Fisheries in April 1974.
Q: What did you do?
By discovering methane hydrate on the ocean floor, we will develop a huge natural gas source on the Sea of ​​Japan side, and this research is expected to contribute to global warming.
Q: What are your famous works?
He is known for discovering methane hydrate on the ocean floor, and is recognized as the ``first discoverer of methane hydrate in Japan.''
