I began playing rugby at the age of 13 after being introduced through tag rugby. In 2010, I was select to represent Japan on both the fifteens and sevens teams. Beginning with the Asia Rugby Championship, Universiade, and World Rugby Sevens Series, I have competed in numerous tournaments, including the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens, and two Rugby World Cups (fifteens) in 2017 and 2022.

Goals for this season
