Originally from Kobe City,

I began playing the saxophone at age 13.

During high school, I discovered jazz and was captivated by

its charm, leading me to perform with big bands.

I pursued further studies at Osaka College of Music’s jazz

course. Currently, I perform actively in the Kansai region

with my own quartet and various ensembles.

I have been privileged to study under esteemed musicians

Hideki Kawamura, Hidefumi Toki, and Miki Yokoyama, as well as classical instructor Shinji Iimori.

In 2022, I participated in the Seiko Summer Jazz Camp,

and in 2023, I released my debut album, Reminisce.
