On graduation from the high school, he started percussion and marimba.
Then he entered Music Dept. of Osaka Kyoiku University to start from very beginning as classic percussionist. While studying there, he went to Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris and Conservatoire de Paris. He won the best prize in the 46th International Music-Competition of the ARD. His brilliant achievement was astonishingly speedy; it was just only some years later since he started the percussion lesson. Then he studied in Karlsruher Music University and graduated with “Auszeichnung”. After playing in various venues in Europe, he moved to Fuji Kawaguchiko-cho, Japan. And as resident-musician, his activity is always watched with keen interest.

In April 2004, his recital “Performance!!” made a big success with a full audience. In June, he appeared as soloist in the Regular Concert of Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra with Maestro Yutaka Sado and played Maki Ishi’s “Afro-concerto”.

While challenging limitless or borderless activity such as performing with dance and paintings, he is also highly reputed as authentic classical percussionist.

His sophisticated color sense of tune will overwhelms not only the audibility but also visual.
His mallet technique, both delicate and dynamic, attracts the audience.
