Born in 1969 in Yokohama

When I was in elementary school, my father took me to climb mountains in Japan, and I was impressed by my father's photographs taken there.

When I was in high school, I joined a brass band, indulged in music, and had no intention of becoming a photographer.

In the 2nd semester of 1987, I was unable to see my future career path ahead of the entrance exam, and when I was worried, my father's camera and photographs caught my eye, and I remembered the majestic scenery I saw when I was in elementary school, and the emotion I received from my father's photographs, and decided to become a photographer.

Enrolled in the Nihon University College of Art Department of Photography in 1988 for 4 years, I looked at photographs, photographed, developed, printed, and worked part-time for a publishing company and freelance photographer.

Joined IMA Co., Ltd. (currently Amana) in 1992. Learn all the skills necessary for advertisement photography for 4 years and become diverse in photographic expression
