A try-getter since his days at Meiji University. After joining Toyota Verblitz, he began to focus on speed instead of just weight training and improved consistency with his kick catching. He broadened his range of play thanks to advice from his teammate and South African national full back, Willie Le Roux. His father Koji was a legendary wing for Kobe Kobelco Steelers.
