Keita Nakamura (born 1981) is a Japanese coffee roaster and essayist. Born in Iwate Prefecture and raised in Kanagawa Prefecture, he studied earth and planetary sciences at the graduate school of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, earning a master's degree in science. After working as a business consultant, he moved to Oyamazaki, Kyoto, and co-founded Oyamazaki Coffee Roasters with his partner in 2013. Alongside coffee roasting, he writes on gender, capitalism, and scientific literacy. His first book, "Coffee wa Otoko no Mono?" examines gender inequality in the coffee industry, including assumptions about masculinity surrounding roasting and taste, and uses the familiar world of coffee to explore how the industry could become a more inclusive and equitable place to work and enjoy coffee.
