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 the 2017 Rugby World Cup (fifteens).

PURPOSE

Goals for this season

Starting from “0 (ZERO)”.
I intend to absorb many things and not get caught up in fixed ideas, reinventing myself.
