Profile

Date of birth: February 19, 1981

Birthplace: Born in Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Currently residing in Niseko.

In 2009, he entered the POWDER COMPANY GUIDES as an apprentice.
He wanted to be as close as possible to the guides he respected at POWDER COMPANY GUIDES.
He gritted his teeth and started his apprenticeship with daily chores, then worked for 5 years in charge of shaping and tuning snowboards and taking reservations.
Now he is a full-time backcountry guide.
He realized that this glamorous world of guiding is not so easy, and he continues to learn every day.
